Packers turn heads with contract decision on former first-round pick

The Green Bay Packers have made some important moves during the 2025 offseason. Green Bay accomplished the unthinkable, drafting wide receiver Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Now Green Bay has made an important decision about one former first-round pick.

The Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Wyatt will earn $12.9 million guaranteed during the 2026 season.

Green Bay selected Wyatt with the 28th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He has been a solid contributor for the Packers, logging 12 sacks in just three seasons in the NFL.
