The Green Bay Packers are trying to dust themselves off from a disappointing end to the 2025 NFL season, where the team lost its last four regular-season games and fell to the arch-rival Chicago Bears in the NFL playoffs.
Although the loss to the Bears still stings, Green Bay has one of the most talented squads in the league, led by star quarterback Jordan Love, and has a chance to bounce back with a vengeance in 2026 with their key players on both sides of the football healthy and motivated to get back on track as a force to be reckoned with in the NFC.

ESPN sources: Green Bay WR Christian Watson and the Packers reached agreement today on a four-year, $110.5 million contract extension that includes a $31 million signing bonus.
According to Schefter, Watson has signed a four-year contract extension worth $110.5 million, including a $31 million signing bonus.
The Packers made a point of it during this NFL offseason to take care of two of their best wide receivers, with Jayden Reed also signing a new deal recently.
The Packers now have extended two receivers this offseason:

As long as this talented young core of offensive weapons can stay healthy moving forward, the Packers could be building something special in Green Bay that might be able to compete for the foreseeable future.
