Davante Adams

The Green Bay Packers are placing a second-round tender on free-agent wide receiver Allen Lazard, according to NFL Network's.

Adams might be one of the NFL's best wideouts, but he can't do it on his own. He also boasts a 68.6 percent catch rate and had just one dropped pass on 60 targets in 2021, per Pro Football Reference. Per Garafolo, the deal will be a little more team-friendly in 2022:

Star receiver Davante Adams informed the Green Bay Packers that he will not play on the franchise tag in 2022, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom ...

Just a week ago, the Packers succeeded in avoiding another lengthy standoff with Rodgers, agreeing to a four-year, $200 million extension that decreases his cap number for the 2022 season. At 29 years old, Adams is understandably ready to cash in for perhaps the last time in his professional career. The All-Pro wideout played out the remainder of his four-year, $58 million extension in 2021, finishing third in the NFL in receiving yards (1,553) and fifth in receiving touchdowns (11). His status has been a topic of discussion for nearly a year, starting with last offseason's drama regarding Aaron Rodgers and the future of the most important Packers, and continuing with former Fresno State teammate and current Raiders quarterback Derek Carr stoking the fire by openly admitting he'd recruit Adams to join him with the Raiders in 2022.

While the Philadelphia Eagles should leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of a premier wide receiver, there's little chance they acquire Davante Adams.

Why would Adams want to play for the Eagles – or most teams in the NFL really – when his best chance to become a Super Bowl champion is in Green Bay? I mean, think about it; Adams is threatening a holdout because he wants to get paid more than the Packers are willing to pay. If the Philadelphia Eagles could somehow snatch away Adams from the Green Bay Packers, they would easily have the best wide receiving corps in the NFC East, especially now that Amari Cooper is a member of the Cleveland Browns, and have a puncher’s chance at the best trio in the NFC, period. Despite a rapidly contracting free agent market of premier pass-catchers, Adams has voiced his displeasure with the long-term offers the Green Bay Packers have offered him and might opt to hold out if he has to play on the franchise tag.

The All-Pro wideout has informed the team he won't play on the franchise tag (roughly $20 million), according to NFL Network — which reported that Adams' ...

You’ve come to the right place. Rodgers, meanwhile, is still working with the Packers to reach a new deal.

Adams would make $20.145 million on the tag this season, which would make him the third-highest paid wide receiver in the league. In terms of average annual ...

During his 22-year carer, Brady has played two games in London (2009, 2012) and one game in Mexico City (2017) along with his games in the United States. Of course, the huge problem for the guy who bought it is that the auctioned ball is likely no longer going to be the final TD ball of Brady's career, which means his $518,000 football is probably now worth about $518. With Brady playing another year, that likely means they won't go in the HOF together, which means Big Ben should get a big celebration and he won't have to worry about Patriots and Buccaneers fans taking over Canton when he eventually gets inducted. Any team that was going to play Tampa Bay in 2022 probably looked at the game as a winnable one, but with Brady back, that's not going to be the case anymore. This one is pretty obvious: With Brady coming out of retirement, the biggest winner is definitely the team that employs him. It won't be surprising if other key free agents -- like Rob Gronkowski -- also make the decision to return to Tampa Bay now that Brady is on board.

Of course, it's common for players and teams to be far apart in March and then reach an agreement in July, so it's far from panic time in Green Bay. But it's ...

It’s hard to believe that he won’t be on the field in Green Bay by September, but for now the sides have very different ideas about what an acceptable contract will look like. Of course, it’s common for players and teams to be far apart in March and then reach an agreement in July, so it’s far from panic time in Green Bay. But it’s going to take some work for the Packers and Adams to come to terms. Packers wide receiver Davante Adams does not appear close to a deal.

While Rodgers scored a new four-year, $200MM deal to become the highest paid player in league history, Adams was cuffed to a one-year, $20.5MM franchise tag.

The Packers may have to carve out some additional cap room to accommodate a new deal for Adams, though they could also work some magic to push much of the obligation to 2023 and beyond. That’s a 20% bump from last year’s tag of $16.8MM, but still far short of the guaranteed dollars he could have on a large, multi-year extension. It’s a steep asking price, but the two-time All-Pro wide receiver has done his best to justify it.

On the morning of the start of the NFL's legal tampering window, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport has reported that Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams will ...

For perspective, Chargers receiver Mike Williams just signed a contract worth $20 million per year, about 25 percent less per year than Hopkins’ extension, on a new contract that saw him net $40 million guaranteed, nearly double what Hopkins got on his extension. Rapoport noted that “this relationship is not in a great place,” in regards to Adams and the Packers front office. It was reported on July 23rd last year that the Green Bay front office had broken off talks of a long-term contract with Adams, who had been vocal about resetting the receiver market following his first All-Pro season. I signed up to work and play. [DeAndre Hopkins] set the stage, whether or not they want to respect that number or whatever...nah, I’m just playing ball. Hoping the Packers are working diligently to ensure we get what we deserve so I can cry once again.”
