Packers Sign Tucker Kraft to Four-Year, $75 Million Extension
The deal averages $18.75 million a year, third among tight ends, with a $26.5 million signing bonus and incentives that can push it to $92 million, ten months after Kraft's torn ACL.
The Green Bay Packers and tight end Tucker Kraft agreed to a four-year extension worth $75 million, with incentives that can take it to $92 million, ESPN's Rob Demovsky and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. The deal includes a $26.5 million signing bonus and $31.5 million in first-year compensation, and its $18.75 million average ranks third among tight ends.
Where does his recovery stand?
Kraft tore his ACL in November after 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns through nine weeks, a pace that had him tracking toward franchise tight end records. He was activated from the PUP list before the season and is cleared to play Sunday at Minnesota without restrictions, though the team may limit his snaps early. "I'm not someone to orchestrate a holdout. I want to be out on the field," Kraft said. Coach Matt LaFleur: "He doesn't shy away from the work."
