Davante Adams has informed the Green Bay Packers he won't play under the franchise tag, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Adams and the Packers remain far apart on a long-term extension, Rapoport adds.
Green Bay's most recent offer would make Adams the highest-paid receiver in NFL history, but the two sides are still at odds over contract structure and length, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
The 29-year-old wideout has reportedly told teammates and friends he's unhappy at not having a new contract, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
The Packers applied the franchise tag on Adams earlier this month. He'd earn $20.1 million on the tag this season, per Spotrac.
Adams has been one of the NFL's most dominant wideouts. He's exceeded 1,300 yards in three of his last four seasons, recording a career-high 1,553 yards in 2021.
Players who've received the franchise tag have until July 15 to agree to a long-term deal.
