Packers WR Jayden Reed signed a three-year $50.25 million extension, including $20 million guaranteed according to his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ian Grutman. The Packers traded WR Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles earlier this month and also didn’t re-sign Romeo Doubs who left via free agency. Reed will remain the slot WR for the Packers behind Christian Watson and Matthew Golden.

What They're Saying

Adam Schefter from ESPN: “Wide receiver Jayden Reed and the Packers now have agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $50.25 million in new money, including $20 million guaranteed, per agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ian Grutman.”

2026 Fantasy Football Impact

Reed only played in 11 games last season after a training camp Jones Fracture and a broken collarbone that required surgery.

In 2024, Reed played every game, going 55-857-6 over the course of the season.

He showcases dynamic ability but only plays in three-WR sets as the primary slot WR. That caps his overall upside for the season, though he hits the occasional long TD.

We currently have Reed ranked as WR46 in PPR Rankings, projecting him for 63-783-6.

He currently sits at a Round 12, Pick 2 ADP according to our ADP Market Index. We like him slightly more than his current ADP.
