Why Retaining Center Sean Rhyan Was The Right Move For The Packers
Sean Rhyan signed a three-year contract worth up to $39 million after proving his value as a versatile interior lineman for the Packers last season, his agents said.
- On March 8, 2026, the Green Bay Packers re-signed Sean Rhyan to a three-year, $33 million deal that can reach $39 million with an $11 million signing bonus.
- After taking over at center following Elgton Jenkins's injury, Rhyan, who had earlier played right guard, finished the 2025 campaign as Green Bay's starting center.
- Gutekunst said Rhyan played at a 'very high level' and 'got better each game', becoming one of the highest-paid centers after nine starts.
- With Rhyan locked in, Green Bay could move on from Jenkins, releasing him to save about $20 million in cap space and possibly gain 2026 draft picks.
- Announced on the eve of free agency, the move likely pulls the team out of the running for Tyler Linderbaum and affects the center market where top values are near $11 million.
