With franchise QB silent, Packers WR Davante Adams expects tag

Field Level Media

With the future of his MVP quarterback up in the air, it appears Packers wide receiver Davante Adams' future is in Green Bay.

The Packers are planning to use the franchise tag to retain Adams, according to reports, with the two sides "not close" to a long-term contract. Adams openly insisted he should be the NFL's highest-paid wide receiver, a contract general manager Brian Gutekunst said the All-Pro deserves.

However, the definition of highest paid and how Adams' deal would fit with any potential contract arrangement with Aaron Rodgers are factors that contribute to Green Bay using the franchise tag.
