Green Bay Packers negotiate extensions for Tucker Kraft, Devonte Wyatt and other key players

Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst is active in the off‑season, securing contract extensions for several core players. Defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt received a three‑year, $57 million deal, while tight end Tucker Kraft is reported to be in talks for a long‑term extension before training camp, with a projected $3.93 million cap hit in 2026 and free‑agency eligibility in 2027. Kraft, the 2023 fourth‑round pick, is recovering from ACL surgery and is expected to be ready for Week 1.

The team also signed veteran center Sean Rhyan to a three‑year, $33 million extension, restructured linebacker Zaire Franklin’s contract after a trade, and added defensive end Javon Hargrave on a two‑year, $23 million deal. The moves illustrate the Packers’ strategy of extending players despite injury histories or advancing age.
