Packers "absolutely" interested in signing Christian Watson to a contract extension
The Packers signed wide receiver Jayden Reed to a contract extension during the draft and the team may not be done giving new contracts to current members of the receiving corps. Christian Watson signed a one-year extension with the team ahead of the 2025 season and General Manager Brian Gutekunst waved away any thoughts that the Reed deal was a sign that the team was planning to part ways with Watson. " Absolutely with Christian," Gutekunst said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.
com. "Amongst a bunch of other guys that we're going to hope over the next few months to try to maybe do some of that with. " The Packers traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles and saw Romeo Doubs leave for the Patriots as a free agent, which thinned out a receiver group that may have had too many mouths to feed in 2025.
They did not draft anyone, which leaves Reed, Watson, and 2025 first-rounder Matthew Golden as the clear top three heading into the 2026 season. Should things come together on the contract front, that trio will be set for a multi-year run in those roles.
