Devonte Wyatt has landed a new Packers payday, with Green Bay and the defensive lineman agreeing to a three-year, $57 million extension that includes a $20 million signing bonus, according to ESPN.

Win Sports Group, Wyatt’s agency, told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on Monday that the sides had reached terms on the deal, ESPN reported.

Green Bay adds years to Wyatt deal

The extension comes after the Packers had already picked up Wyatt’s fifth-year rookie option for the 2026 season, a move ESPN reported was worth $12.93 million.

With the new agreement added on, Wyatt is now under contract with Green Bay through the 2029 season, according to ESPN.

The deal keeps the former first-round pick tied to the team that drafted him at No. 28 overall in 2022. Wyatt has spent all four of his NFL seasons with the Packers, according to ESPN’s report.

Injury cut short his last season

Wyatt, 28, played 10 games last season before a knee injury ended his campaign early, ESPN reported.

Before the injury, he recorded four sacks and seven quarterback hits, according to ESPN. Those numbers came in a shortened season, giving the Packers a recent look at his pass-rush production before committing to the extension.

Across four seasons in Green Bay, Wyatt has totaled 16 sacks and 30 quarterback hits, ESPN reported.

The agreement gives the Packers long-term certainty on their defensive line while moving Wyatt well beyond the original rookie-contract timeline. The fifth-year option had already covered 2026, and the new three-year extension carries the arrangement through 2029.

ESPN did not report additional financial terms beyond the total value of the extension, the signing bonus and the value of the previously exercised fifth-year option.
