Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said last month salary cap concerns shouldn’t prevent the team from building a quality roster around Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams if both players stayed.
Gutekunst apparently will get a chance to prove it.
The Packers gave Adams a franchise tag Tuesday on the same day Rodgers announced he plans to return to the Packers for an 18th season rather than requesting a trade or retiring. That addressed the Packers’ two biggest roster issues.
But there still are plenty of questions surrounding a team nearly $46 million over the salary cap, according to overthecap.
