Packers add safety Xavier McKinney on four-year, $68M contract

Free agent safety Xavier McKinney is signing a four-year, $68 million deal with the Green Bay Packers, agent David Mulugheta told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

McKinney's addition comes as the Packers earlier on Monday lost safety Darnell Savage, who agreed to a three-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Safety was perhaps the biggest offseason priority for the Packers, who are starting fresh on defense with new coordinator Jeff Hafley.

Two other safeties who played significant snaps last season, Jonathan Owens and Rudy Ford, also are free agents.
