Christian Watson's one-year, $13.25 million extension with the Packers keeps him in Green Bay through 2026, serving as a discounted fifth-year option while he rehabs from ACL surgery. Loyalty and culture drove the deal, per Watson's father, and it aligns with the Packers’ long-term plan to leverage his elite speed and versatility in Matt LaFleur's offense. The move preserves a core explosive playmaker for a title run, while Watson regains form ahead of a potential big second contract after 2026.
