Kraft's deal comes in at an initial base value of $75 million in new money over those four additional years for an average value of $18.75 million, but it has another $17 million in bonuses and escalators that could make the maximum value of the contract $92 million in total... Kraft's signing bonus is $26.5 million, according to Adam Schefter, which is likely the only fully guaranteed money in the deal... that signing bonus is the biggest ever for a player at that position.

Kraft's $92M extension includes largest TE signing bonus ever; upside to exceed Kittle's AAV

Kraft signed a 4-year extension through 2030 with the Packers worth $75M base ($18.75M average annual value) plus $17M in bonuses and escalators for a maximum value of $92M total. His $26.5M signing bonus is the largest ever for a tight end, though his base AAV ($18.75M) trails George Kittle's $19.1M mark. The deal structure allows Kraft to exceed Kittle's compensation if he hits individual and team performance bonuses, providing upside while the Packers mitigate risk given his torn ACL recovery.
