Aaron Rodgers isn’t the only big-name Packers player that will be looking for a new deal. Davante Adams’ contract is up after next year. He is an unrestricted free agent. Green Bay would like it if they’re able to get a new deal with Adams before the offseason. If not, Adams would be one of the most sought-after free agents in some time. The deal would be enormous for him. Adams admitted to Colin Cowherd yesterday that Rodgers leaving could have an impact on what he does in the future with the team. This is the least surprising thing I’ve heard from this Rodgers’ drama. It’s a no-brainer that this would affect Adams and may affect where he’s going next season.

"We've established a lot together. It would change a lot. It doesn't mean I'd be gone, but I'd definitely have to do some extra thinking if my guy wasn't here."

Now if Rodgers leaves, Adams can have success with Jordan Love. It takes a long time for a wide receiver to build a relationship with a quarterback. But when Rodgers went down with an injury in 2017, Adams went off. He had a really good finish to the 2017 season. Brett Hundley and he had a solid relationship. One of the reasons the Packers kept themselves competitive during that time was because of Adams. Love has a big arm, and there is definitely an opportunity for him to make fast friends with Tae.

The other question that we have to ask ourselves is will Green Bay have enough money to go around? If Rodgers is made the highest-paid player in football, which is the rumor out there now, where will be the money to sign Adams? Does Green Bay have that ability? I know Russ Ball is a spreadsheet wizard and figures this shit out like Charlie Kelly looking for Pepe Silva yet it’s going to be tough. Could that be one of the things that are driving this discussion around the extension? Maybe Green Bay pays him less in 2022 then enhances it moving forward.

This is an interesting subplot to the Rodgers’ saga.
