Packers Sign Zach Tom To Record $88M Extension

The Green Bay Packers have secured their offensive line's future by signing right tackle Zach Tom to a four-year contract extension worth up to $88 million, including a $30.2 million signing bonus, making it one of the highest-paid deals for an offensive lineman in NFL history. Tom, known for his versatility and consistency, has started all 17 games in each of the past two seasons and earned recognition as one of the league's top offensive tackles, significantly contributing to the Packers' strong offensive rankings. The deal comes ahead of the 2025 training camp, ensuring Tom's presence as the team reshuffles its offensive line, with Elgton Jenkins moving to center and new acquisition Aaron Banks joining at left guard. Despite Jenkins' absence from voluntary workouts due to a back injury, Packers management remains optimistic about his return. Head coach Matt LaFleur praised Tom's athleticism and intelligence, emphasizing his importance in protecting quarterback Jordan Love and maintaining the team's offensive stability. Tom's commitment to the team and focus on performance were evident as he participated in offseason activities despite ongoing contract negotiations.
