🔴 LIVE Packers News! Xavier McKinney New Contract? Which Rookies Are PRIMED For Breakout? Xavier McKinney is one of the most important players on the entire Packers roster — and the contract conversation around the two-time All-Pro safety is heating up. McKinney is entering Year 3 of his four-year, $67 million deal after the Packers restructured his contract in March, dropping his 2026 cap hit from $19 million all the way down to $9.86 million by converting $11.535 million into a signing bonus and adding three void years. Zone Coverage is already calling for McKinney to receive a rare third contract from Green Bay, pointing to his 10 interceptions and 195 tackles in two seasons — and noting that "quarterbacks have clearly become more hesitant to challenge his areas of coverage." With a $22.7 million cap hit looming in 2027, an extension conversation could begin sooner than most fans expect. Plus — we break down which 2026 Packers rookies are most primed for a training camp breakout.
