The Green Bay Packers have extended linebacker Isaiah McDuffie's contract for one year, worth $4.85 million, keeping him with the team through 2027. This extension comes after McDuffie's strong performance in the previous season, where he led the team in special teams snaps and showed improvement in coverage. Under new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, the Packers are switching to a 3-4 defense, potentially limiting McDuffie's role on the field. Despite this, the extension secures a reliable backup linebacker and special teams player for Green Bay.
