Packers give WR Sammy Watkins only $350K guaranteed on new deal

The Green Bay Packers aren’t paying much to see if veteran Sammy Watkins can help stabilize the team’s wide receiver position in 2022.

According to Over the Cap, Watkins’ one-year deal with the Packers includes only $350,000 guaranteed – all in the form of a signing bonus – and will count just under $1.8 million on the team’s salary cap.

Because of the Top 51 rule during the offseason, Watkins’ immediate effect on the Packers’ salary cap amounts to under $1 million.

His base salary is $1,120,000. He can earn a $50,000 workout bonus for participation during the offseason workout program and $330,000 total in per-game roster bonuses.
