With the future of his MVP quarterback now secure, Packers wide receiver Davante Adams' future is also in Green Bay.
ESPN and NFL Network reported Tuesday afternoon that the Packers have used the franchise tag to retain Adams, hours after Aaron Rodgers confirmed he would return for the 2022 season.
The Packers and Adams are "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. The sides have until the July 15 deadline to reach a long-term deal.
