The Green Bay Packers have locked up one of the league's premier pass rushers with a five-year contract worth over $120 million. The deal includes $78 million in guaranteed money, making it one of the richest defensive contracts in NFL history.

General manager Brian Gutekunst called the signing a cornerstone move for the franchise's defensive rebuild. The edge rusher recorded 14.5 sacks last season and has been a consistent force off the edge for the past four years.

Analysts believe the Packers are positioning themselves as serious NFC contenders with this aggressive roster construction heading into the 2026 season.
