Once you franchise tag a player, that full amount goes into escrow and is on the cap unless you rescind them tag.

He’s listed for the tag amount on otc.

I believe this is correct. The only site that spells it out comes from here: https://dairylandexpress.com/2022/03...ing-cap-space/

Here's the relevant part: They have until March 16th at 3pm central to be under the 2022 salary cap. That March 16th date also includes any other money they add on to their cap like an Adam’s tag.

TLDR: Green Bay can tag Adams by the deadline on March 8th and not have to be in legal standing with the 2022 cap until March 16th.

Adams could hold out all offseason, training camp, and preseason while holding $20 million worth of valuable cap space hostage.
