Report: Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers 'far apart' on extension talks​


The Green Bay Packers and Davante Adams remain "far apart" on a long-term agreement that would keep Adams in Green Bay, according to NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, and, more importantly in the short term, help the team get under the salary cap in time for a looming March 16 deadline.

The Packers still have until July 15 to reach a long-term agreement with Adams. An extension would promise more money to Adams but also stretch the Packers' financial commitment out and lower the 2022 cap hit, giving the team more flexibility for other spots on the roster.
