The Packers are all in on Devonte Wyatt.
Tuesday, Green Bay inked the 31-year-old space-eating defensive tackle to a three-year deal worth $57 million that will ensure that the bulk of his prime will be spent playing in a Packers uniform.
Inside Devonte Wyatt’s contract, and why it matters for the Packers
According to a report from ESPN, Wyatt’s deal includes a $20 million signing bonus, and works out to $19 million per season.
Just judging by Wyatt’s AAV, Green Bay’s commitment makes him the No. 18 highest-paid player at the position, garnering $1 million per season more than the Pittsburgh Steelers are paying Cam Heyward.
Last season, Wyatt produced 15 total tackles and four sacks.
After revamping the defense over the past three offseasons, by trading for All-Pros Xavier McKinney and Micah Parsons, and ultimately adding Zaire Franklin in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts after allowing Quay Walker to depart be free agency, Wyatt remains a mainstay for new coordintor Jonathan Gannon’s defense in Green Bay.
