Скачать или смотреть Raiders Sign Quay Walker

Quay Walker is heading to the Raiders on a 3-year, $40.5 million deal with $28 million guaranteed. Here's how that contract explains exactly why the Packers traded for Zaire Franklin instead.

Franklin carries a $7 million cap hit in 2026 with no guaranteed money remaining, giving Green Bay flexibility to move on after this season if needed. Walker's deal, by comparison, would have cost the Packers something close to $28 million guaranteed. The math makes the Packers' decision pretty clear, even if it stings a little.

At 13.5 million per year for Walker versus 10.42 million per year for Franklin, the Packers went cheaper and more flexible. Franklin is older, but he's a veteran presence with zero financial risk beyond this season. That's the tradeoff Green Bay made.
