While Aaron Rodgers is the center of attention for the Packers as usual. Some fans are still waiting on an update on the contract of the All-Pro receiver Davante Adams. If the wide receiver does not come to terms with the club soon, he will become an unrestricted free agent. 

The two-time first-team All-Pro is currently on an expiring contract with the franchise. The window to re-sign Adams is closing with every passing day. The Green Bay Packers might end up losing one of their best receivers if they do not act quickly.  

When could Davante Adams become a free agent?

The Green Bay Packers selected Davante Adams in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. The wide receiver has been with the franchise all throughout his professional career. During his tenure at Wisconsin, Adams has been selected in the Pro Bowl five times. With the last two being first-team selections. In 2020, Adams became the NFL receiving touchdowns leader. The Packers have until March 8 to put the franchise tag on Adams. If they do not use the tag or sign a new deal with the wide receiver until March 16, he will become an unrestricted free agent.

The Packers and Davante have not been on the same page recently. The WR has an argument to make. According to Adams, he believes that he is one of the best receivers in the league. Looking at the stats, it is hard to argue with that claim. The 29-year-old wants to be compensated as such.

How can the Packers keep Adams?

If the Packers want Adams to stay, they should put a franchise tag on him soon. Doing that would give the team more time to work out a long-term deal with the receiver. It could extend the window of negotiations up until July. But even after getting the tag, Adams and the team do not come to an agreement, he will be forced to play the 2022 season at Green Bay. It is known as the one-year franchise tag tender.

The Packers can also tag and then trade Adams away. Doing this would create more value for losing the WR. If Davante signs with another team while being a free agent, Green Bay could get the third-round compensatory pick in the 2023 draft. What do you think the future holds for Davante Adams?
