GREEN BAY – It appears all the Green Bay Packers and tight end Tucker Kraft needed was a deadline to close the gap on their differences.
With the season a little more than 24 hours away, Kraft and the Packers agreed to terms on a four-year extension worth $75 million, including a $26.5 million signing bonus, a source confirmed Sept. 12. The deal could go as high as $92 million based on incentives and escalators
Kraft's deal falls just short of the yearly average of San Francisco tight end George Kittle's $19.1 million-a-year deal and does not include the same amount of guaranteed money. But the signing bonus is the highest of any tight end in the NFL.
