Highest-paid WR? Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers differ on amount to make that happen
Two-time Wisconsin Sportswriter of the Year as selected by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association
They can't agree on the definition of "highest-paid receiver in the NFL."
Adams and his representatives say the Arizona Cardinals' DeAndre Hopkins now holds that title at $27.25 million per year.
The way the Packers -- and many teams around the NFL -- view it is Hopkins' average is closer to the $20 million annual mark. That's because Hopkins' deal with the Cardinals was an extension to his previous contract. He was on a five-year, $81 million deal. So while the new money -- two years and $54.5 million -- indeed averaged $27.25, there were three years remaining on his previous contract.
