Davante Adams Released

[Pckfn23]

Whoa, that was quick.

[paco]

He's going to be a Charger, maybe a Ram. He can still play for a contender, of sorts, and stay on the west coast.

[BF004]

GIve him the Julius Peppers contract.

Decent good money, but basically year to year.


Would make Doubs expendable then too, seems like there is still some issue with him and the team, hell, even for Metcalf still.


I normally hate trading for players, cause just like go sign them. 2 1sts for Maxx Crosby and a top of the market contract, or Josh Sweat and you get 2 first round picks, just better process. In that same limelight. Sign Davante, not even counting against comp picks, and then use Doubs as a trade piece, that would actually be very good process.

I do think the Chargers are going to be the most competitive team when bidding for Adams. They have the dove and the need and the desired location for Adams.

Hopefully he had enough bad experiences elsewhere to get past the way he was treated here towards the end. For Adams I personally think he needs to come back and etch his name in Packers glory for some of those career stats he has for the taking.

[packman114]

Maybe he can help Wicks learn how to catch the ball!

were we bad to him too? thought it ended kinda amicably haven't heard about any grudges, but then Tae doesn't seem the type to hold one anyway, just figured if Metcalf was around 20, Tae would get more, about 25, would Guty go that high? I think I would on a 3 yr deal, Tae's been healthy and still very productive, make the 3rd yr with a get out clause, coupled with who we have, MLF and Getsy should be able to dial up some explosive pass schemes, use a late rounder on a deep burner to freeze the high guy, Love could become a HOF QB with this group

[Labrev]

I'd love to get him back, but I feel like several other teams are better bets if it's really about getting a ring. KC, LAC, BUF, and BAL for example.

If it's about sentimental reasons though then yeah come on down.

My understanding from reporters is that Adams was due for an extension and we low balled him on the initial offer prior to the expiring season. He declined and we never negotiated past that point. We made him play his final year on the contract without any fair market offers which is when he said screw you essentially I’m playing elsewhere. So even when we offered a larger contract with significantly less guaranteed money than what the Raiders offered (also disrespectful) he said I will never play for Gutenbumst again.

I wonder if he’s able to forgive and forget or he still has some ill will.

[Scott4Pack]

I don't see how Guty takes the financial pill that it would require to get Tae. I'd love to see him return. But I really doubt it'll happen. He'll have to return when he signs his 1-day contract to retire as a Packer.

I’d be interested to see those reports because I don’t remember it being nearly as acrimonious as you’re describing. Sure, there was contractual disagreement but the Packers eventually gave in. Unfortunately, by then, DA had already made up his mind on being closer to the west coast and family.

Seems to be water under the (unburned) bridge at this point. If the Packers make a good offer he will likely consider it.

That’s the sense I get. If anything, it seems DA is warm to the idea of a return. I don’t get a sense of acrimony toward the Packers from him like at all.

[MY_TAKE]

How good is Davante Adams still? I myself honestly have no idea. I watched him very little last year. Any thoughts?
Obviously I have been griping about improving the WR group, so I am for bringing him back. I am sure he has physically declined but he obviously brings veteran leadership and savvy. I am pretty sure he can still get open!

I watched several Jets games. DA is still DA. He may not be able to school the elite level CBs anymore like he did Jalen Ramsey back in the day but he’s still got plenty of juice.

He would easily ascend to the Packers WR1 position.

Just off a quick google search from Adams himself. I remember hearing Silverstein talk about it in the Journal Sentinel as well.

“I will never play for Gutekunst again.”

I missed that in your article. Can you point it out for the rest of us?

As I said, there was initial contractual disagreement but the Packers eventually stepped up their offer.

Your article backs my version more than yours, honestly.

Figuratively speaking I guess. Hence why he cut of any contract communications from that point forward, took less money somewhere, and went around the entire season calling it The Last Dance.

There are contractual dispute and then there’s offering something so uncompetitive that it’s disrespectful.

That's because Davante Adams said "Gutebumst"

He is still a legit #1 WR. I could see him have a stronger impact than Driver did for us in 2009. (and I love Driver in 2009)
