Packers Sign Xavier McKinney to a Four-Year, $68 Million Contract
McKinney Bolsters Packers' Secondary
Deal Makes Him Fourth-Highest Paid Safety in the NFL
The Green Bay Packers have signed former New York Giants safety Xavier McKinney to a four-year, $68 million contract, including a $25 million signing bonus. The deal was announced on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
McKinney is one of the most highly sought-after safeties in the NFL, and his signing is a major coup for the Packers. He is a three-time Pro Bowler and was named an All-Pro in 2021. McKinney is known for his versatility and playmaking ability, and he will be a key part of the Packers' defense.
The Packers are expected to start McKinney alongside Adrian Amos in the secondary. The two safeties will form one of the most formidable tandems in the NFL. McKinney's signing is a clear indication that the Packers are serious about contending for a Super Bowl in 2024.
McKinney's contract makes him the fourth-highest paid safety in the NFL, behind only Tyrann Mathieu, Derwin James, and Justin Simmons. The Packers are clearly committed to building a strong defense, and McKinney's signing is a major step in that direction.
