Davante Adams Refuses to Play for Packers Under Franchise Tag

Packers’ fans everywhere woke up to startling news Monday morning. Less than a week ago it was announced that Green Bay used the franchise tag on All-Pro WR Davante Adams. Yesterday, Ian Rapoport broke news he will not play under the tag. Adams wants a new contract.

March 8th, 2022, felt like a massive day for Packers fans everywhere. Aaron Rodgers announces his intent to return to Green Bay. As a subsequent move, the Packers used the franchise tag to bring back Davante Adams. It felt as though the pieces were all coming together for a 2022 “Last Dance” type scenario.
