The Green Bay Packers picked up Rashan Gary’s fifth-year contract option, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
Gary, the 12th overall pick in the 2019 draft, will remain under contract with the Packers through the 2023 season. He broke out as a star rusher in 2021 (9.5 sacks) and will go into the 2022 season as one of the NFL’s best young defensive players.
The fifth-year option will be valued at around $11 million for Gary in 2023.
