Before the 2025 NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers general manager stated that he was open to long-term extensions for both of his team’s 2022 first-round picks, linebacker Quay Walker and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt. Shortly after the draft, though, Wyatt had his $13.9 million fifth-year option picked up while the team declined Walker’s $14.8 million option.
When asked about Walker’s situation on Wednesday, Gutekunst stated, “We’d like to have Quay around for a number of years,” suggesting that the team is still working toward a long-term extension with the player. For now, though, we’ll have to wait for Walker’s return to the field.
