GREEN BAY â The Green Packers signed five of their six 2026 NFL Draft picks before the start of their rookie minicamp May 1, leaving only second-round cornerback Brandon Cisse unsigned.
Third-round defensive tackle Chris McClellan, fourth-round edge rusher Dani Dennis-Sutton, fifth-round center Jager Burton, sixth-round cornerback Domani Jackson and sixth-round kicker Trey Smack signed their rookie deals.
All of the players, including Cisse, were taking part in the first day of practice. Cisse is able to take part despite no contract because he is protected by an injury agreement.
Draft-pick salaries are essentially slotted with salary-cap totals, making negotiations fairly easy for the club and player. First- and second-round players are sometimes trickier because of a fight over how much of the contract will be guaranteed.
All of the Packersâ draft picks will sign four-year deals as mandated by the collective-bargaining agreement. First-round picks sign four-year deals with a fifth-year club option.
Since the Packers donât have a first-round pick this year, they will not have to decide on whether to exercise an option in three years.
The Packers decided this week to execute the fifth-year option of 2023 first-round pick Lukas Van Ness.
The Packers also announced 10 undrafted free agent signings.
They are:
Brandon Cisse is unsigned due to negotiations over contract guarantees, which can be more complex for first- and second-round picks.
All of the Packers' draft picks will sign four-year deals, with first-round picks having a fifth-year club option as per the collective-bargaining agreement.
The Packers' rookie minicamp is set to begin on May 1.
