While $20 million is a solid salary for the 2022 season, Adams is unhappy with their decision to tag him. From a player's perspective, the tag is a risky situation because of the lack of guaranteed years and money that comes with a new contract.Davante Adams is so frustrated by the Packers' decision to tag him rather than extend him that he reportedly claims he will sit out the 2022 season if a new deal isn't reached. If he sticks to his word and refuses to play without a new contract, he will not get paid at all for the 2022 season.Ian Rapoport@RapSheetFrom @GMFB: #Packers star WR Davante Adams has informed the team he won’t play on the franchise tag, and the sides remain far apart on a long-term deal, per sources.

Though Adams would not receive the salary associated with the tag, the amount doesn't come off the books for the Packers. This means his $20 million dollars still counts against the salary cap for the 2022 season, preventing them from signing a legitimate replacement.Adams' threat to sit out is an expensive move for him, but it also puts pressure on the Packers to get a deal done. Adams would be gambling on himself, knowing the value he brings.Davante Adams' career with the PackersGreen Bay Packers wide receiver Davante AdamsAdams was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
