Overview
- Bo Melton signed his exclusive-rights free agent tender, securing a one-year, $1.145 million contract for 2026 with Green Bay.
- The signing coincides with the start of the Packers’ offseason program, which means coaches can begin working on his position plan right away.
- Under ERFA rules, players with two or fewer accrued seasons cannot negotiate with other teams and typically sign one-year, league-minimum tenders.
- Melton trained at cornerback last spring but logged no defensive snaps in 2025, contributing 185 special-teams snaps and 96 on offense with four catches for 107 yards and a 45-yard touchdown.
- Recent moves such as Dontayvion Wicks’ trade to the Eagles and the addition of cornerback Benjamin St-Juste suggest he could focus on wide receiver, with his role to be sorted out in spring and camp.
