The Green Bay Packers are two seasons in the Jordan Love era and the team is 2/2 in playoff appearances. While that is incredible by itself, many analysts agree that the team is a few pieces away from competing for a Super Bowl.
One piece to the puzzle may already be in house.
Breaking: Packers Expected To Extend National Champion After Brian Gutekunst’s Comment
Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst hinted this offseason that the team may use the fifth-year option on a certain National Champion:
The Packers believe Walker, the 22nd overall pick in 2022, and Wyatt, the 28th overall pick, are coming off their best seasons in 2024. Gutekunst must now decide whether or not to use the fifth-year option by May 1 of this year. If used, the Packers would be committing millions in guaranteed money into 2026. If not used, Walker and Wyatt would both enter contract years in 2025.
“Super fired up about both those guys’ seasons this year,” Gutekunst said at his season-ending press conference on Thursday.
Walker played 13 games and finished first on the team in tackles with 102, his third straight season with 100 or more. He also set a career-high with nine tackles for loss while adding 2.5 sacks.
Wyatt played in 14 games and produced 32 pressures, third-most on the Packers defense despite playing only 247 pass-rushing snaps.
