Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom is eligible for a new contract extension, as he’ll enter the final year of his rookie deal in the 2025 season.
The Wake Forest product will earn $1.1 million next season. If he and the Green Bay Packers can’t agree on a new extension, Tom will hit unrestricted free agency in the summer of 2026.
Zach Tom was recently named a first-team All-Pro by the PFF this 2024 season, beating out viable candidates like Philadelphia Eagles’ Lane Johnson and Detroit Lions’ Penei Sewell. He was one of the highest-graded offensive tackles last season, as he’s ranked third in run-blocking grade (90.0), 11th in pass-blocking grade (82.1), and fourth in overall grade (87.6).
The 25-year-old also gave up only 24 total pressures and three sacks on 562 pass-blocking snaps and was penalized only seven times. He has started at right tackle each of the last two seasons for the squad.
New England Patriots urged to trade for Green Bay Packers’ Zach Tom
The New England Patriots have several roster areas to address this offseason, and the right tackle is a position of need. If the team wants to maximize Drake Maye’s potential, it’s clear that New England has to give him better protection.
NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry suggested the New England Patriots should go after Zach Tom, but taking him out from Green Bay is far easier said than done.
“Tom is among the most underrated offensive linemen in the league, so it will be tough to pry him from the Packers,” Perry wrote in his column. “Since tackle is arguably the Patriots’ biggest need, it’s a possibility that should at least be explored.”
