Adams hauled in 123 catches last season for over 1,500 yards and 11 touchdowns. He has spent his entire professional career with the Packers since being drafted in the second round in 2014.

The tag is a one-year deal at a predetermined salary, which gives the Packers more time to negotiate a long-term contract with Adams. His tag is expected to cost about $20.1 million against the 2022 salary cap.
