Packers continue to have the NFL’s biggest workout bonuses
Offseason programs are getting started in the NFL today, and the Packers are giving their players millions of reasons to attend voluntary workouts.
The two biggest workout bonuses in any NFL contracts this year are the $750,000 bonus in Packers linebacker Za'Darius Smith‘s new contract and the $650,000 bonus in Packers linebacker Preston Smith‘s new contract, according to Field Yates of ESPN.
By putting such big workout bonuses in player contracts, Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst is following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Ted Thompson, who regularly put big workout bonuses in players’ contracts.
