On Monday morning, outside linebacker Preston Smith posted a photo on Instagram of him and his family in the Green Bay Packers facility while Smith appeared to be signing a new contract. Smith is one of the final key veterans that the Packers could have signed an extension with to ease their cap situation, as he was set to make a base salary of $8.35 million that kept his cap hit at $19.72 million in 2022, the final year of his original contract with the Packers.
The news came in shortly after via NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport that Smith signed a four-year, $52.
