Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers hints decision on future likely by franchise tag deadline out of respect to Davante Adams

-- Not only might Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams be a package deal, but the timing on whether both will return to the Green Bay Packers could happen almost simultaneously.While Rodgers originally said he would likely have a decision by the time free agency begins, which is March 16, he offered the possibility that it could be even sooner.If the Packers are going to use the franchise tag on Adams, the All-Pro receiver, they can do so as early as Feb. 22 but no later than March 8. "Rodgers skipped the entire offseason program last offseason and suggested that if he were to return for another season, he would prefer to skip most of it again.Upon his return to the Packers last July, he admitted that not participating in the offseason program last year offered a hint at what retirement might feel like, although he continued his regular workouts and training sessions as if he were going to play."I don't have a fear of retirement," he said Tuesday.
