Packers' Top Free Agents: Contracts & Draft Picks

About this episode

ESPNs Dan Graziano projects top Green Bay Packers free agents contracts for 2026, with QB Malik Willis topping the list at $22M/year, WR Romeo Doubs at $16.3M, LT Rasheed Walker at $20M, and LB Quay Walker at $14M. These deals could yield third-round picks for Willis and Walker, and fourth-rounders for Doubs and Walker. Packers fans grapple with mixed emotions as key contracts expire, aiming to retain comp picks and rebuild with four bonus draft picks in 2027. Willis role remains debated, with some viewing him as a bridge QB, while others see him as a starter. Receiver and linebacker markets remain volatile, while tackles command premiums due to scarcity. These projections seem realistic given rising salary caps and recent comps, with Walker deals potentially edging higher. Green Bay secures draft ammo for future moves without pursuing free agents.
