Packers agreed to terms with OLB Clay Matthews on a five-year, $66 million contract extension through 2018.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the deal includes roughly $31 million guaranteed, which is $9 million less than DeMarcus Ware received in 2009. It speaks to the ongoing "market reset." Matthews, who has 43 sacks through his first 58 NFL games, was going into the final year of his rookie contract. The deal could include a fairly sizable 2013 cap hit, as the Pack have worked diligently to keep space open this season. Next on the docket for Green Bay is Aaron Rodgers, who should sign the most lucrative contract in league history.
