Green Bay, Wisconsin – Zach Tom, the promising tackle for the Green Bay Packers, is set to enter the 2025 NFL season with renewed confidence after securing a four-year extension worth $88 million. This contract could rise to $92 million based on performance incentives, and it includes a staggering $30.2 million signing bonus, marking the largest ever for an offensive lineman in NFL history.
This new deal was essential for the Packers, as Tom was entering the final year of his rookie contract. Instead of risking his financial future by playing that out, he now has a significant financial cushion that will see his earnings jump by over $18 million from 2025 to 2026. At $22 million per year, Tom’s salary places him among the elite right tackles in the league, ranking just behind players like Jordan Mailata of the Eagles and Jake Matthews of the Falcons.
Tom’s versatility on the field greatly enhances his contract value. He showcased his ability to play multiple positions during his rookie season, a skill that has only improved his standing in the league. Last season, he achieved a career-best Pro Football Focus grade of 85.8, ranking sixth among all tackles in the NFL.
With his coachable nature and adaptability, Tom has become a crucial player for the Packers, especially in protecting quarterback Jordan Love. As teams begin to reformat their rosters during this offseason, Tom’s commitment is a significant step for the franchise’s future.
In other news, off the field, the Pittsburgh Steelers revealed a new throwback uniform, paying homage to their original attire from 1933 when they were known as the Pittsburgh Pirates. As teams across the league make various moves, fans are eagerly monitoring the offseason changes and looking forward to the upcoming season.
In a tough development, Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis will undergo surgery on his throwing shoulder and will miss the entire 2025 season. Meanwhile, defensive lineman Kobie Turner from the Rams has expressed excitement over their upcoming rematch against Philadelphia in Week 3.
As the 2025 NFL season approaches, it remains clear that players and franchises are gearing up with important decisions that will shape the league’s competitive landscape.
