Jeremy Fowler of ESPN has reported that the Packers restructured Xavier McKinney's contract and Overthecap has posted the numbers. Per Overthecap, the Packers reduced McKinney's $4.25M base salary to his minimum salary of $1.215M, a difference of $3.035M. The Packers added 3 void years and converted the $3.035M plus McKinney's $8.5M roster bonus ($11.535M total) into a signing bonus. The move provides $9.228M in cap relief. McKinney will have cap numbers of $9.697M in 2026 and $24.908M in 2027, which would make him a prime candidate for an extension or some other move to reduce his cap number in 2027.
