The Green Bay Packers and tight end Tucker Kraft have agreed to terms on a four-year, $75 million contract extension through 2030 that can be worth up to $92 million, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday.
The deal was agreed upon just one day before the Packers faced the Minnesota Vikings in the 2026 season opener. Also included in the extension is a $26.5 million signing bonus.

Some key players have departed Green Bay this offseason,
including wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. Still, the Packers have worked to lock down cornerstone players that they intend to build around for the future, including Jayden Reed and Christian Watson.
Kraft's new deal was extended amid uncertainty about how he would respond after a torn ACL cut his 2025 season short. In a loss to open the season against the Vikings, Kraft caught 3 passes for 65 yards. Clearly, the Packers front office has faith in Kraft and the supporting cast to put up more numbers down the stretch.
