Devonte Wyatt agrees to three-year extension with Packers - NBC Sports

What the report says

NBCSports.com’s Pro Football Talk reported that Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt has agreed to a three-year contract extension, removing him from a contract year ahead of the 2026 NFL season. The article, published July 20, 2026, by Josh Alper, said the agreement was confirmed by multiple reports.

According to NBCSports.com, the Packers had already picked up Wyatt’s fifth-year option for 2026, which carried a salary of $12.938 million. Under the new extension, Wyatt is due to receive $57 million, including a $20 million signing bonus. The report did not provide additional details on guarantees, cap structure or whether the new agreement replaces or adds to the option year.

Wyatt, a 2022 first-round draft pick, has played in 57 regular-season games for Green Bay. NBCSports.com reported that he started all 10 games he appeared in last season before a broken fibula ended his campaign early. Before the injury, he recorded 27 tackles and four sacks. Across his Packers tenure, he has totaled 101 tackles, 16 sacks, one forced fumble and three fumble recoveries.

The deal matters because it keeps a key defensive lineman under Green Bay’s control beyond the immediate option-year window. More broadly, NFL teams often use extensions for former first-round picks to secure core players before they reach free agency, while players gain longer-term financial security and upfront money through signing bonuses.
