The deadline for using the franchise tag arrives on Tuesday afternoon, and the Green Bay Packers are still expected to use the tag on All-Pro receiver Davante Adams.
According to Dan Graziano of ESPN, the Packers and Adams have talked about a new contract but haven’t made “much progress,” and the team isn’t going to let him get to free agency even if Aaron Rodgers decides he wants to depart Green Bay.
So, only two outcomes exist in this scenario: the Packers and Adams come to an agreement on a new, long-term deal, or the Packers use the franchise tag as a last resort to keep him out of free agency.
