2026: $6.8 million
2027: $10.9 million
2028: $17.6 million
2029: $17.3 million Functionally, this three-year extension is a two-year, $27.1 million deal for Reed, from a cash perspective, and then two team options on the Packers’ end. For example, Green Bay can save $7.6 million in 2028 with Reed’s release that offseason and $12.3 million in 2029. It’s safe to say that he’ll be on the roster for at least the next two seasons, but then he needs to be clearly earning his keep or the team can pivot.
