Edge rusher Rashan Gary and safety Darnell Savage will both have their fifth-year options picked up by the Green Bay Packers.
According to Rob Demovsky of ESPN, the Packers are expected to pick up Savage’s option, keeping him under contract in Green Bay through the 2023 season.
Savage, who turns 25 years old in July, was the 21st overall pick in the 2019 draft. He’s started 46 games and produced eight interceptions, 26 pass breakups and six tackles for losses over the last three seasons in Green Bay. An emerging elite player to finish the 2020 season, Savage wasn’t as consistent or disruptive during his first season in Joe Barry’s defense in 2021, but the Packers are banking on him ascending again in 2022.
