Watson’s one-year, 13.25M extension marks a smart middle ground for Green Bay: security for the receiver coming off ACL/MCL concerns, plus upside if he returns fully, with potential void years to keep the cap flexible. The move stabilizes the 2025 outlook and preserves a window for a bigger contract if he dominates after his comeback.

Love led an efficient offense, while Wooden and Wyatt anchored the run defense in Week 1, and Williams flashed as a high-end safety presence. Golden and Reed showed growing trust, and Watson’s deal, plus the coaching and Goody’s moves like Golden’s draft and Canard trade rumors, signal a franchise plotting for a championship run. Washington’s offense and Terry McLaurin add a Thursday-night sleeper angle for fantasy bets.
