Packers are already $30m over the 2022 cap so that's going to be lead to cuts and restructurings and they'll still need to seriously backload Adams' deal. Let's say he's signed to a 4 year $100m deal, the first year cap hit will likely be under $10m just to make the cap work in 2022. That means an average of $30m cap hit in this next 3 years (assuming he plays out the full contract). If you thought Rodgers $30m cap hit was preventing this team from building a Super Bowl roster, how about a $30m cap hit from a WR. But I still think they sign Adams, we'll just be feeling some serious pain in 2023-2025.
And for those that will inevitably suggest adding dummy years to the deal to push the cap hit out.......the Packers will be taking a $16m cap hit in 2021 and in 2022 just on restructured deals. That's part of the reason the Packers are in such rough cap shape in 2022.
