Packers Losing LB Quay Walker to AFC Foe for $40.5 Million: Report

Pundits didn’t expect the Green Bay Packers to retain unrestricted free agent linebacker Quay Walker in 2026. That expectation became nearly official Monday.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to give Walker a 3-year, $40.5 million contract. The deal will include $28 million guaranteed.

The NFL’s legal tampering period began Monday at 12 pm ET. NFL free agents will be permitted to sign their new contracts beginning at 4 pm ET Wednesday.

Once Walker signs the dotted line, likely Wednesday, he will officially be gone in Green Bay.

The Packers drafted Walker at No. 22 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. Over four seasons, he posted 469 combined tackles, including 29 tackles for loss. He also had nine sacks, 17 pass defenses and one interception.

But the Packers didn’t exercise Walker’s fifth-year option last May. That was a significant sign the team didn’t have the linebacker part of their future plans.

In 2025, Walker posted 128 combined tackles, including eight for loss, seven quarterback hits and 2.5 sacks.

Packers Superstar Jordan Love Faces Boycott After Claiming Children Shouldn’t Be Exposed to LGBTQ-Themed Cartoons, Despite Explaining He Meant No Hostility Toward Anyone
Green Bay, Wisconsin – Jordan Love, the star quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, sparked a major controversy after stating that children should not be exposed to LGBTQ-themed cartoons. These comments quickly spread on social media, generating a wave of strong reactions. "My point is not to attack anyone, but to express concern about the natural development of children," Love shared while explaining his stance. He emphasized that children should be allowed to develop their identities without being overly influenced by complex topics. However, despite Love clarifying his intentions, these comments still resulted in intense backlash. Some people called for a boycott of Love and any content related to the Packers on social media platforms. The wave of boycotts extended beyond just fans and also spread to sports commentators. Meanwhile, some defended Love, arguing that he had been misunderstood. They stated that Love was simply expressing his personal view about childhood development without intending to offend any community. However, the controversy continued to escalate. "He was just sharing his perspective on raising children. People are jumping to conclusions without fully understanding his message," one of Love's fans posted on social media. Yet, the debate goes beyond just one individual; it’s about the responsibility of public figures. The controversy revolves around the responsibility of public athletes, especially a franchise QB for the Packers, who has a massive following. Love's comments are seen as having a strong impact on the community and society, particularly as the team is in the process of a successful rebuild and is aiming for a strong playoff push. Currently, Green Bay Packers has not issued any official statement regarding the incident. Jordan Love has also not made any further comments beyond the remarks that sparked the discussion. The situation continues to develop, and this controversy remains a hot topic across media outlets.
