The Green Bay Packers have found their solution at center in Sean Rhyan.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Sunday the Packers signed the interior offensive lineman to a 3-year, $33 million contract. The deal could be worth as much as $39 million.
Rhyan landed the contract extension after finishing the 2025 campaign as Green Bay’s starting center.
“Rhyan becomes one of the highest paid centers after nine career starts there,” wrote Fowler.
Of those nine starts, one of them was Green Bay’s wild card playoff matchup versus the Chicago Bears.
The Packers’ decision to sign Rhyan as seemingly the team’s starting center going forward will have a significant impact on the center market.
First, more likely than not, it pulls the Packers out of the running for Tyler Linderbaum, Pundits have predicted Linderbaum to become the highest-paid center in the NFL this offseason.
With Rhyan’s contract, the Packers are also probably moving on from veteran interior lineman Elgton Jenkins.
Pundits have named Jenkins a trade or cut candidate this offseason for Green Bay. Jenkins started the first half of the 2025 campaign at center before suffering a season-ending injury.
The Packers could save about $20 million against the salary cap with Jenkins’s release.
