The Facts: Aaron Rodgers wasn't the only Packers star to take the mic and deliver a message Wednesday. Adams addressed the media for the first team since reports emerged that he and the club had broken off long-term contract extension negotiations, signaling that the two were at odds over the All-Pro receiver's future with the franchise. Adams, who is entering a contract year and is slated to make around $16.8 million this season, wants to be the highest-paid receiver in the league. "I'm not gonna too far into details about the numbers and all of that stuff, but I like to say that I've outperformed my last contract or my current contract," Adams told reporters Wednesday. "I'm going to keep elevating. At the end of the day, however it pans out, it pans out that way and I'm going to think long and hard about how everything goes. At this point, like I said, I'm here for my teammates and I'm really excited to be back. I told you guys before -- I'm a man of my word and I'm ready to play."
Diehards Line:Adams was present and accounted for at Green Bay's first training camp practice Wednesday, just like his star QB. It doesn't look like the Packers will have to worry about any contract-related absences coming from Adams going forward. The wideout told reporters that he doesn't anticipate restarting negotiations with the team during the season, citing his desire to keep his mind focused on the field. Adams added later: "I'm not a baby, so I'm not gonna not show up and I'm not complaining about it. At the end of the day, I'm not poor right now. I'll be OK to get through and go and try to win a Super Bowl again. That's my main focus now. The offseason was working out and trying to come to an agreement, but we weren't able to do that, so now it's kind of time to lock in."
