Packers wide receiver Davante Adams has informed the team that he will not play under the franchise tag in 2022, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Green Bay placed the franchise tag on Adams last week following the contract extension given to star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, which made him the highest-paid player in NFL history.
Adams, who is Rodgers’s top receiving target, is seeking a long-term extension of his own. With free agency opening later this week, and the legal tampering period opening Monday afternoon, a resolution to the Adams situation is likely coming soon.
