Corey Linsley, Packers Agree to 3-Year, $25.5 Million Contract Extension

The Green Bay Packers announced Saturday that they came to terms on a contract extension with center Corey Linsley.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the extension is worth $25.5 million over three years.

Linsley's extension came one day after the Packers signed wide receiver Davante Adams to a four-year, $58.75 million deal, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Since entering the NFL as a fifth-round pick out of Ohio State in 2014, Linsley has been the Packers' regular starter at center.

He has made 53 starts during his four-year career, including 15 thus far in 2017.

Green Bay's offensive line underwent some significant changes in recent years, as guard Josh Sitton was released in 2016 and tackle Bryan Bulaga missed all but five games this season due to injury.

Linsley has been a constant in the middle this season for a line that was tasked with going from blocking for All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the inexperienced Brett Hundley.

Being without Rodgers for an extended period of time caused Green Bay to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2008, but the Packers have taken steps to ensure their core will stay together for 2018 and beyond.
