Kraft's contract extension remains in preliminary stages and has not picked up yet, with general manager Brian Gutekunst noting 'we have a little bit of time because he's just not there yet' in his recovery. The market for top tight ends has lagged behind other positions; Kyle Pitts Sr. signed a three-year, $53 million deal with a $16.785 million signing bonus, while George Kittle and Trey McBride are the highest-paid at $19 million per season. Kraft's deal is expected to raise the Packers' total significantly above the nearly $60 million in signing bonuses already given to receivers Jayden Reed and Christian Watson, linebacker Isaiah McDuffie, and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt.
