Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson began the 2025 season on the Physically Unable to Perform list while recovering from a torn ACL suffered in Week 18 of 2024. Earlier this year, the Packers signed Watson to a one-year, $13.25 million bridge extension to keep him under contract through 2026 while he rehabbed, a clear signal the organization viewed him as a long-term piece. Green Bay has now made that commitment official in a much bigger way.
NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that the Green Bay Packers have signed Watson to a four-year, $110.5 million contract extension, locking the 25-year-old receiver into the organization well beyond his previous deal. The extension averages $27.625 million per year, placing Watson firmly among the top-paid wide receivers in the league.
