The Green Bay Packers have signed defensive end Fadol Brown to a contract extension ahead of the start of free agency next week.
Brown posted a photo of himself signing a new deal with the Packers on his instagram account Wednesday night. According to Michael Cohen of TheAthletic.com, Cohen is signing a one-year extension with the team.
Brown was set to be an exclusive rights free agent since he has fewer than three accrued seasons of experience. The Packers could have tendered him a minimum contract and kept control of him for 2019.
