With Aaron Rodgers returning, Packers now expected to use franchise tag on WR Davante Adams

Now that Aaron Rodgers has made a decision on his future, the Green Bay Packers can move along with the next big order of business: All-Pro receiver Davante Adams.

With Rodgers back in the fold, the Packers are now expected to use the franchise tag on Adams, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Adams, a first-team All-Pro in 2020 and 2021, has an expiring contract. Using the franchise tag will keep him out of free agency and in Green Bay for at least another year, while also extending the negotiation window for both sides on a new, long-term deal.
