Packers focus on Tucker Kraft and Devonte Wyatt after Watson extension
Summary

The Green Bay Packers recently extended wide receiver Christian Watson’s contract, continuing their offseason initiatives. Following this move, the team’s priorities include securing contract extensions for tight end Tucker Kraft, who is recovering from a torn ACL, and defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt, who will play the 2026 season on the final year of his rookie deal. Kraft, considered a key player, may see his deal completed before the regular season. Wyatt’s extension could reduce his cap number this year, protecting valuable interior defensive talent. Other candidates for extensions include Karl Brooks and Carrington Valentine, though their futures remain uncertain.
