He plays hard. Good for him

He will learn a few things from Hargrove to better his career and what’s needed in the playoffs.

The division is ours folks has been last 2 years. Need it this year.

7 years for Love. Training wheels coming off, running game needs to be better will be with BURTONNNNN.

Per Ian Rappoport. This is not unexpected. Wyatt had a $12.938M deal for 2026, all fully guaranteed. The extension probably reduces his cap number from $12.98M to $6.5M or so, less it there is a void year. [That makes plenty of room for a Kraft extension.] The $20M signing bonus is a little high for $57M but he already had ~$13M fully guaranteed, so now that amount grows to $20M. 3/$57M is $19M AAV. I look at it as 4 years, $70M (actually, $69.938M or $17.48M AAV).

I predicted $16.5M AAV, so $19M does indeed strike me as a little high for Wyatt. There have been comparisons to Franklin-Myers who just signed for $21M but he has been a more durable and simply a better player. It may be that Rappoport got the "up to" number. Be that as it may be, I don't hate it. I fully believe the Packers are operating in short term mode; that is, win now or the next 2 or possibly 3 seasons. [I am looking at Love's $75M cap number in 2028 and Micah's $73M cap number in 2029. The Packers could finesse those numbers if they are getting deep into the playoffs, but otherwise 2026 and 2027 seem to be windows.] I am betting that there is no void year. The figure to look at when the details are available is the 2-year numbers. I am guessing Wyatt gets $32M cumulative in 2026 and 2027 (i.e., 2yrs/$32-34M) with $8M dead left if the Packers decide to move on.

I don't think it was necessary to sign Wyatt. There will be other DTs available in free agency next year, but I grant that finding DTs with some pass rushing juice is harder, so I am okay with nailing Wyatt down. They saw him this summer even though not in pads or on the field. A bit of a chance being taken, I suppose. PFF still hates Wyatt but PFF is far from gospel. Wyatt had his best season as a run defender in 2025. He does need to come back strong and stay healthy for this deal to work out for the team.

he was missed more than people realize, not much disruption from the middle, that with Parsons hurt was the downfall of the defense, but I still think Hafley could have done more when Parsons went down, he was unable to scheme pressure without him.
