Adams, who was drafted by the Packers in the second round in 2014, was set to be a free agent after the season, and Green Bay clearly did not want to let him go. He will end the season with 10 touchdown catches in 14 games. He is out the final two games of the season due to a concussion suffered against Carolina.
The 25-year-old receiver has blossomed for Green Bay. He caught 12 touchdown passes last season and now has 26 for his career.
