Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst has his work cut out for him this offseason. Aaron Rodgers has yet to make a decision on whether or not he’ll return to the Packers, and there’s the immediate need of getting a deal done with star wide receiver Davante Adams.
Adams is scheduled to be a free agent in March, and Gutekunst has his eyes set on coming to terms with Adams on a long-term deal. During a press conference Wednesday, Gutekunst said he would prefer to reach a long-term extension with Adams. But Gutekunst also noted it’s possible Green Bay lets Adams walk in free agency. The Packers could also use the franchise tag on Rodgers’s top target.
“Yeah, possibly,” Gutekunst said when asked if the Packers could let Adams walk, per The Athletic. “There's a lot of things to be determined there.”
