Walker, Wyatt and the Fifth-Year Option

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers, to the surprise of no one, did not exercise the fifth-year option for cornerback Eric Stokes earlier this month.

Up next are the team’s 2022 first-round picks, linebacker Quay Walker and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt. The deadline to make those decisions most likely will be May 6, 2025.

Plenty can change between now and then, obviously, with the looming 2024 season playing a large role in the team’s decision. Walker hasn’t been great but it’s hard to quibble with 239 tackles in 31 career games. After a quiet rookie season, Wyatt more than doubled 2022 his production with 36 tackles, 5.
