Packers' Christian Watson Has Big Goals for Himself After Signing Big Contract
Watson said the extension gives him a chance to build on 35 catches and six touchdowns last season while staying healthy.
- Last week, the Green Bay Packers signed wide receiver Christian Watson to a four-year contract extension worth about $92 million, with incentives pushing the total to $110.5 million.
- Watson's injury history, which limited him to 48 games over his first four seasons including eight missed games in 2023, prompted Green Bay to structure the deal with performance incentives.
- Watson set personal targets of double-digit touchdowns and over 1,100 receiving yards for the season, telling reporters Tuesday, "I think we both won on the deal."
- With Watson and Jayden Reed secured after his April extension, the Packers now target contract extensions for tight end Tucker Kraft and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt.
- Entering the season, the team remains about $21.6 million under the salary cap, with a receiver room featuring Watson, Reed, and 2025 first-round pick Matthew Golden.
