Former Longhorns WR Matthew Golden signs first NFL contract with Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers and Matthew Golden officially put pen to paper on Monday. The former Longhorn signed his rookie deal. Golden's first NFL contract is worth $17.57 million over four years. It also comes with a signing bonus of $9.42 million. Now that Golden has crossed that milestone off his list, he can focus on becoming a mainstay in the Green Bay offense.

In last month's draft, Golden was the Packers first-round pick. He also made history, becoming the first wide receiver Green Bay drafted in the first round since Javon Baker in 2002.
