Tucker Kraft signs $92 million extension with Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers have agreed to a four-year contract extension with tight end Tucker Kraft, worth a base of $75 million and potentially reaching $92 million through incentives. The deal includes a $26.5 million signing bonus, which is noted as the largest ever for a player at his position.

Kraft, a 25-year-old former third-round pick, is returning to action following a torn ACL that sidelined him during the 2025 season. He is expected to be active for the Packers' season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. The extension secures Kraft through the 2030 season and follows similar recent deals for teammates Jayden Reed and Christian Watson.

Before his injury, Kraft had established himself as a highly efficient receiver, ranking first in the league in EPA per target among players with at least 40 targets. His new contract places him among the highest-paid tight ends in NFL history.
