After probably dumping two big contracts that they have in WR's, Adams earned that cash. Healthy, I would be willing to call him a top 10 receiver.

I would assume that Jordy or Cobb has to hit the market, though neither excites me moving forward. Packers weren't going to let him hit free agency. Never even got my hopes up. Allen Robinson too. I'm guessing he could be tagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuvious Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Sincere question to Packer fans. Did Adams step up his game a lot the past year or so? I feel like it was not too long ago that I remember Packer fans being frustrated with his development. But I'll also concede that I've seen almost no Packer football this year. I think just the Seattle and Dallas games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of your memory comes from the frustration from his sophomore year when he dealt with a nagging ankle injury, and the calls to release Adams were rampant. He came back with a strong junior year, and he's been a very good player. Is he a bonafide #1 WR? No, but he's damn good #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So safe to say he's earned himself an extension, but it may be a bit rich for what he is right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely earned the extension. Very possible his play without Rodgers at QB drove the price up. Once the next wave of WR get their next deals, this Adams contract will look less pricey.

Siv Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 His agility and moves off the line are so nasty. Really good after the catch too. Good signing for the Pack. No more illegal shots and he’ll be golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patriotsheatyan Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Paying an average number two 14 million a year? Thompson ensuring that Rodgers will never win another SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I like Adams, he's on my fantasy team. But, this seems like a massive overpay to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what he's produced right now? Probably. Based on how he's actually played and projecting forward? Not really. It's going to look like an overpay given that he hasn't eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark. He finished the 2016 season 3 yards short of that mark. This year, with Brett Hundley as his starting QB for a large chunk of his season he was nearly as productive on a per game basis as he was the previous year before. He was actually more productive later in the year than he was early in the year ironically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Alshon got 4 years $52M, $27M guaranteed. I'd say this is just the going rate for that 2nd tier of WRs below the top guys (AB, Julio, Green, Hopkins, OBJ, Evans). I expect Cooks, Watkins, Landry and Robinson to all get paid in that $12-15M/year range as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know stats aren't everything, but some team would be incredibly foolish to give that kind of money to Sammy given his production this year.

Part of it on top of all that is they really don't have much in Cobb left, and Nelson is about to the end. If you lose all 3 this year you are playing with very little. You had to find a way to secure Adams. On top of that he is pretty damn good and is only getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay based off of market value. The most recent WR to sign a new deal was Alshon Jeffery, and Davante Adams has outproduced Jeffrey despite having a worse QB situation. I might even make the argument that Adams is underpaid based on the extension that Jeffery just signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
