Author: AC Sports September 13, 2026 Duration: 3:26

Cal Hutson reacts to the big news that Tucker Kraft is staying in Green Bay with a four-year, $75 million extension (up to $92 million) signed just one day before the season opener. The conversation then shifts to what the deal means for the Packers heading into Minnesota without Josh Jacobs and Micah Parsons, plus a realistic look at the year ahead.

  • Breaking down Kraft's new contract and why it matters long-term
  • How the Packers' core skill players are now locked in
  • Week 1 challenges against the Vikings with key pieces missing
  • An honest but optimistic view of what a solid season could look like
