Christian Watson extension keeps WR with Packers through '26
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Whenever Christian Watson returns from surgery on his torn ACL, the Green Bay Packers receiver won't have to worry about playing for his future.
Watson agreed to a one-year, $13.25 million contract extension with the Packers, his agent, Adisa Bakari, told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. The 26-year-old, a second-round draft pick in 2022, had been in the final year of his rookie contract and would have been a free agent next offseason.
The deep-threat receiver suffered the right knee injury in last year's regular-season finale against the Chicago Bears. He remains on the PUP list, which means he will miss at least the first four games of this season.
