The Green Bay Packers have made some important moves during the 2025 offseason. Green Bay accomplished the unthinkable, drafting wide receiver Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Now Green Bay has made an important decision about one former first-round pick.
The Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Wyatt will earn $12.9 million guaranteed during the 2026 season.
Green Bay selected Wyatt with the 28th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He has been a solid contributor for the Packers, logging 12 sacks in just three seasons in the NFL.
It should be no surprise that the Packers want to keep Wyatt around. He is the perfect complement next to Kenny Clark on the interior of Green Bay's defensive line. The Packers also do not have great depth at the position, so keeping a starter like Wyatt around is a smart move.
Wyatt's best season came in 2023. He played all 17 games and logged 36 total tackles, five-and-a-half sacks and one fumble recovery.
Wyatt's stats were a little better in 2024, which is encouraging because he only played in 14 games.
Packers fans should be excited to see Wyatt take another step forward during the 2025 season.
