The Packers are waiting for word from quarterback Aaron Rodgers on his 2022 plans while also moving toward the deadline to use a franchise tag on wide receiver Davante Adams, but General Manager Brian Gutekunst said on Tuesday that the handling of the two situations isn’t connected.
Gutekunst said last week that “the earlier the better” when it came to Rodgers making up his mind about next season and that there were no new updates for him to share about the quarterback’s decision. He did say that he hoped to know before the start of free agency on March 16, but that there was no connection between Rodgers’ timeline and the call that the Packers have to make on Adams.
