Overview
- Jayden Reed agreed Friday to a three-year extension worth $50.25 million with $20 million guaranteed, a deal agents confirmed hours before Day 2 of the NFL Draft.
- The contract keeps Reed under team control through 2029, easing pressure to spend a Day 2 pick on a wideout after Green Bay traded away its first-rounder to Dallas.
- Green Bay reshaped its receiver room this offseason as Romeo Doubs left for a four-year, $68 million deal with the Patriots and Dontayvion Wicks was dealt to the Eagles for 2026 and 2027 picks.
- Reed led the Packers in catches in 2023 and 2024 but played only seven games in 2025 after shoulder and foot surgeries, making this a bet on a return to his early-career form.
- General manager Brian Gutekunst said extending Christian Watson remains a priority, setting up Watson’s contract as the next key decision for a group now built around Reed, Watson and 2025 first-rounder Matthew Golden.
