GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has signed a three-year contract extension with $50.25 million in new money and $20 million guaranteed.
The deal was confirmed by Drew Rosenhaus, who teams up with Ian Grutman to represent Reed. ESPN first reported the extension.
Reed, who turns 26 on Tuesday, would have been entering the final year of his rookie deal this season if he hadn’t agreed to an extension.
The 2023 second-round pick from Michigan State has caught 138 passes for 1,857 yards and 15 touchdowns while also rushing for 310 yards and three more scores over his first three seasons. He played just seven games last season because of a shoulder injury and had 19 receptions for 207 yards and one touchdown plus three carries for 28 yards.
Reed’s injury occurred as he was making a diving touchdown catch that got nullified by a penalty during a 27-18 victory over the Washington Commanders on Sept. 11. Reed underwent surgeries on his shoulder and foot later that month, and he didn't play again until Dec. 7.
Before that injury-shortened 2025 season, Reed had been the first player in league history to have at least 750 yards receiving, 55 catches, six touchdown receptions, 100 yards rushing and a touchdown run in each of his first two NFL seasons.
He was the first Packers wideout to have 900-plus yards from scrimmage in each of his first two seasons.
This extension comes during an offseason in which the Packers lost some of their receiving depth, as 2022 fourth-round pick Romeo Doubs signed with New England and 2023 fifth-round selection Dontayvion Wicks was traded to Philadelphia.
Doubs had 55 catches for 724 yards last season to lead the Packers in both categories. His six touchdown catches matched Christian Watson and tight end Tucker Kraft for the team lead.
The Packers acquired a fifth-round pick in this year’s draft and a sixth-round selection in next year’s draft for the 24-year-old Wicks, who had 30 catches for 332 yards and two touchdowns last season.
