After the 2017 season, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams signed a four-year, $58 million contract, at its time the fourth-richest deal for a wide receiver in the NFL. Today, it's the 11th-largest contract at the position, with every new deal signed by a receiver making Adams' contract look better by comparison.
Tim Backes of Cheesehead TV dove into the contract talk after the New Orleans Saints locked up Michael Thomas to a five-year, $100 million deal, and shows that Adams' contract is a borderline steal today:
The Packers have Adams locked up for another three seasons on this contract, one that now ranks just 11th in the league in average dollar value per year, despite Adams being easily a top 10 and borderline top 5 player at the position. Safe to say, the Packers were fortunate to be able to sign Adams at the time they did.
