Packers, Tucker Kraft agree to four-year, $75 million extension

The Green Bay Packers and tight end Tucker Kraft agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $75 million, with incentives increasing its value to $92 million and a $26.5 million signing bonus. The deal runs through 2030 and carries an average annual value of $18.75 million, placing Kraft among the NFL’s highest-paid tight ends. Kraft became a key part of Green Bay’s offense after recording 707 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 2024 and 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight 2025 games before a torn ACL ended his season. He is expected to return for the Packers’ season opener against Minnesota, though his workload could be managed early in the season, and the extension keeps one of quarterback Jordan Love’s primary weapons under contract alongside recently extended receivers Christian Watson and Jayden Reed.
