Report: Tucker Kraft, Packers Reach Agreement on Four-Year, $75 Million Contract Extension
The deal includes a $26.5 million signing bonus as Kraft, a key part of Green Bay’s offense, avoids a contract-year distraction before Week 1.
- On Friday, the Green Bay Packers agreed to a four-year, $75 million contract extension with tight end Tucker Kraft, which includes a $26.5 million signing bonus and could be worth up to $92 million.
- Entering the final year of his rookie deal, Kraft faced a potential free-agent market next offseason, prompting the Packers to prioritize retaining the 2023 third-round draft pick before Sunday's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
- Kraft's deal carries an average annual salary of $18.75 million, placing him among top-paid tight ends George Kittle and Trey McBride, while he returns after a 2025 season cut short by a torn ACL.
- Packers coach Matt LaFleur previously praised Kraft, saying, "He doesn't shy away from the work," while Kraft had pledged not to hold out, stating, "I'm not someone to orchestrate a hold out, mostly because they can fine me."
- With Kraft secured, Green Bay has now signed all offensive starters to long-term deals through at least 2028, positioning the team for stability as it faces the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
