The Green Bay Packers have exercised the fifth-year option for defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, ensuring his presence on the roster through the 2026 NFL season. A first-round pick from Georgia in the 2022 NFL Draft, Wyatt has established himself as a key component of the Packers' defensive line, contributing significantly with over 20 tackles and five sacks in the 2024 season alone.

With this decision, Wyatt is set to earn $12.9 million in 2026, fully guaranteed. This move not only solidifies Wyatt’s role but also signals the Packers’ confidence in his potential. After the 2026 season, the team will face a critical choice: negotiate a long-term deal or allow him to enter free agency.
