Report: Davante Adams Expected to Get Packers Franchise Tag After Rodgers Contract

The Green Bay Packers are expected to place the franchise tag on wide receiver Davante Adams by Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

That news comes after the Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers agreed to a four-year, $200 million contract Tuesday that makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history, per Rapoport.

Rapoport noted that while Rodgers is getting $153 million in guaranteed money, the new deal drops his salary-cap number, which creates room for Green Bay to franchise Adams.
