Packers pay up to keep from losing injured free-agent tight end Robert Tonyan

GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers found out signing a player who is coming off an ACL injury can be a little tougher when his name is Robert Tonyan.

Despite Tonyan being likely to miss at least the first six weeks of the 2022 season, there were three other teams who were interested in signing him and the competition drove the price up.

According to a source, Tonyan will make $3.75 million this year even though he might not play more than eight or so games and will be able to make another $1.75 million in incentives.
