The Green Bay Packers signed linebacker Isaiah McDuffie to a one-year contract extension on Monday. ESPN reported the extension will pay McDuffie $8.8 million over the next two seasons and includes $1 million in play-time incentives. McDuffie, who turns 27 later this month, had been set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2026 season.
He was entering the final season of a two-year contract signed in the 2025 offseason. McDuffie appeared in all 17 regular-season games in 2025, making 12 starts. He recorded 92 tackles, one sack and one interception while playing 505 defensive snaps and a career-high 302 special teams snaps.
Selected by the Packers in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, McDuffie has appeared in 80 regular-season games over five seasons and recorded 320 tackles. He has added 21 tackles in five postseason games. In 2025 McDuffie was on the field for 45 percent of the Packers’ defensive snaps and 72 percent of special teams snaps.
