GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers saw what happened last season when they let several key free agents leave. They're not letting it happen again.
They signed center Corey Linsley to a contract extension on Saturday, one day after they did a four-year, $58.75 million deal with receiver Davante Adams. Both players would have hit the free-agent market in March without new deals.
A source told ESPN that the deal is for three years and averages $8.5 million per year in new money.
Linsley, 26, is the only Packers' offensive player to be on the field for every snap this season.
