The Green Bay Packers agreed to terms on a four-year, $110.5-million contract extension with wide receiver Christian Watson, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Watson's new deal includes a $31-million signing bonus as well.

The 27-year-old is coming off a productive 2025 campaign. He posted 35 catches for 611 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games after recovering from an ACL injury that ended his 2024 season.

Watson led the NFL in yards per catch (17.5) last season. He also tallied 17 explosive gains (plays of 16 yards or more), per ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

The 6-foot-4 pass-catcher was entering the final year of his contract, according to Spotrac. He signed a one-year extension worth $11 million in September 2025.

Watson could be in line for more targets next season, considering Romeo Doubs signed with the New England Patriots in free agency and the Packers traded Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles in April.

The North Dakota State product becomes the second Green Bay wideout to land a new deal this offseason after the club signed Jayden Reed to a three-year, $50.2-million agreement in April.

Watson, who's caught 133 passes for 2,264 yards and 20 touchdowns since entering the league in 2022, is expected to headline the Packers' receiving corps, which features Reed, Matthew Golden, Bo Melton, and Skyy Moore. Green Bay is also awaiting the return of tight end Tucker Kraft, who sustained a torn ACL in early November.
