Ever since the Green Bay Packers drafted Darnell Savage in the first round, 21st overall in 2019, he’s been a fairly serviceable starter at Safety. As a result, without a better option available, it was a simple decision to pick up his fifth-year option. But entering that fifth year, a contract year, that “serviceable” label might not be an enough to get Savage a second contract from the Packers. This makes 2023 possibly the most important year of Savage’s career.
Darnell Savage’s fellow 2019 first round pick, Rashan Gary is likely to sign a long-term deal before his fifth-year option expires.
