Supposedly wasn't about cap space, it was that Adams told them he wouldn't play under the franchise tag and they didn't get anywhere on negotiating a contract (presumably because the Packers weren't going to offer $28m/yr to a WR).

So it looked like the options were trade him or he sits and you still have to keep his franchise tag worth of cap space open all year in case he comes back.
