The Green Bay Packers have agreed to a three-year, $33 million contract extension with offensive lineman Sean Rhyan, his agents confirmed to ESPN. The deal includes an $11 million signing bonus and has a maximum value of $39 million. Rhyan, a third-round draft pick in 2022, emerged as a versatile contributor for the Packers last season, starting games at center, right guard, and other interior positions.
Why it matters
Retaining Rhyan is a key move for the Packers as they look to solidify their offensive line. Rhyan's ability to play multiple positions provides valuable flexibility, especially with the uncertain future of starting center Elgton Jenkins, who is entering the final year of his contract.
The details
Rhyan took over as the Packers' starting center midway through the 2025 season after Jenkins suffered a season-ending ankle injury. Prior to that, Rhyan had started games at right guard. In 2024, he started all 17 regular-season games at right guard. This new contract likely means the Packers will move on from Jenkins, who has one year remaining on his deal but is a strong candidate to be released or traded.
