Xavier McKinney

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Packers have agreed to terms with former Giants S Xavier McKinney on a four-year, $68 million contract.

McKinney was a candidate to receive the franchise tag, but the Giants chose to let him test the waters of free agency instead. Things worked out for McKinney as he is now set to be one of the league’s highest-paid safeties. McKinney started all 17 games last year and broke up 11 passes while also finding three interceptions. He even contributed .5 sacks and two TFLs. One of the best coverage safeties in the league, McKinney will take Darnell Savage’s place in the lineup. Savage is set to leave Green Bay for Jacksonville once contract signings become official.
