That's a ton of money! I hope it pays off. I like Watson's talent; hopefully, injuries are behind him.

For a team with a sparse bank account and a guy with a huge injury history-this is just another head-scratching but predictable move. I would add it to the exorbitant contract renewals of the 'trimumvirate'--Gutekunst, La Fleur and Ball. Meanwhile, E. Policy holding his hand out crying 'poverty.'

Where does this leave Tucker Kraft I wonder? Money is running low in GB.

It's a risky move with his injury history, but a necessary one in my opinion. It'll be interesting to see what they do with Kraft. Another must sign. I hope his injury doesn't make him hesitant to play as he has up this point. One of the best TEs in the league as far as YAC.

$27M a year is actually cheap for a WR these days when the top guys are making closer to 40. When they moved up to take him I thought for sure they were taking Pickens.

Puzzled by comments above - it's a relative bargain at the WR position!

Alec Pierce - 4-year, $114 million extension.
Drake London just signed for 35MM a year as a possession receiver w/100 MM G.

Contracts are for future performance not past results. GB's notoriously conservative docs likely cleared him -

He truly tilts the field for us.

Actually thought he would be in vicinity of 180 mil. Good bargain for Pack unless he is injured with his sketchy health history.

The ultimate high-risk, high reward proposition...That's also quite a bit of money for a player who has never come close to 1000-yard season. On the other hand, there's no other receiver quite like him (save for maybe D.K. Metcalf), and our offense would be duller and noticeably less dangerous without him. So I hope we get the best from this investment.

The most notable part of the contract is the guaranteed money (31M). All else - term and balance of monies are variable. So the worst case contract scenario may not be that dreadful.

Dobbs got 4 years at 80 mil.

Glad they locked Watson up.

They've now locked up the triumvirate of Watson, Reed, and Golden for the next three years. Nice! I know it may not quite work out that way because these contracts are so screwy, but they've probably got them all for at least two years.

He’s not a trouble maker. He’s a good teammate.

He catches the ball in Bears game last play of Love throws it.

He opens things up for others.

Him and Bo Melton running go routes both fast someone is open.

It takes 2-3 years for a receiver to get up and running with the Packers.

Good signing for a small town college boy.

I predict 16-18 TDs this year for him.

And one in the Super Bowl.

It’s the guarantee money. …every thing else is extra.

Waste of money. Just like paying Baktari big huge money when his career was over and he had nothing left to give since both his knees were trash.
OKAY how many of you say he misses 6 games this year, albeit not in a row. Hands up!
IMO he's not all that great when he does play. I've barely seen him run away from a defender, seems there is always one drapped over his shoulder. So much for the speed?

I can’t wait for a. 3 TD game again. So he can do the. 1, 2, 3. Deal like he did against the cowboys.

Save your money C Watson.

Watson. Locked up for 4 years.
Reed. Locked up for 4 years.
Golden. Locked up for 3 or 4 years.
Williams. Locked up for 3 years.

I'm not going to worry about the WR room for a while.

If you catch the theme starting with the GM and coach extensions, it's clear the Packers are favoring continuity. Don't forget Rhyan and Kraft(likely). It's clear management sees the current football profile as one they like.

I've never doubted Watson's ability. If he can stay healthy he will elevate his play to the elite level among NFL receivers. He also loves being in Green Bay and that, I'm sure, was a factor in the decision.
