Tucker Kraft, the tight end for the Green Bay Packers, just inked a new deal that's making waves. We're talking 4 years and $92 million, with a massive $26.5 million signing bonus. This makes him the highest paid tight end in NFL history, surpassing even George Kiddell. This massive contract comes, even though Kraft is still recovering from ACL surgery he had last year. He only played in 8 games last season because of that injury, but the Packers clearly see his potential and are betting big on his return. The Packers drafted Kraft in the third round of the 2023 draft out of South Dakota State. He really started to shine in his second year, putting up 7-7 receiving yards on 50 catches and 7 touchdowns before his. Despite the knee-setback, all signs points to Kraft being ready for week 1 of the upcoming season.
