The Green Bay Packers have their receiver corps locked down for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Packers and wideout\u00a0Christian Watson\u00a0agreed to a four-year, $110.5 million extension, which includes a $31 million signing bonus, ESPN’s Adam Schefter\u00a0reported\u00a0on Thursday. Green Bay later announced Watson’s extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watson had been set to enter the final year of his contract after inking\u00a0a one-year extension\u00a0in September as he was coming off an ACL tear in the Week 18 of the 2024 season. This time around, the Packers made a bigger commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After missing the first six games of 2025 while rehabbing, Watson returned with smashing results, generating 611 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games. He earned a career-high 61.1 yards per game, splashing big plays, with his speed helping open up the offense. In 10 regular-season tilts, he generated 80-plus yards four times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year’s extension provided a cushion for Watson to recover without the pressure of rushing back onto the field. When his return went well, Green Bay was comfortable securing him long-term. The 27-year-old has been a dynamic weapon when he’s been on the field over his four seasons. The key is keeping the speedster healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Watson’s $27.62 million per year places him 15th among receivers, but below the $30-million plateau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It marks the second receiver deal the Packers have handed out this offseason, after inking slot\u00a0Jayden Reed\u00a0to a\u00a0three-year, $50.25 million extension. With\u00a0Matthew Golden\u00a0still entering Year 2 of his rookie deal, Green Bay now sports a WR trio that can grow together around\u00a0Jordan Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next up for a new deal in Green Bay: tight end\u00a0Tucker Kraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
