The Green Bay Packers re-signed linebacker Isaiah McDuffie to a two-year, $8 million deal on Monday, sources tell ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. With incentives, McDuffie will have the upside to earn a total of $9.5 million. He will return to Green Bay after recording a career-high 97 tackles (46 solo), half a sack, three tackles for loss, three QB hits, three pass breakups and a forced fumble in 17 regular-season starts in his fourth year in the NFL with the Packers. The 25-year-old former sixth-round selection in 2021 out of Boston College is expected to serve as the team's top backup inside linebacker again in 2025 behind Quay Walker and Edgerrin Cooper. He has a total of 228 tackles (129 solo), one sack, eight tackles for loss, six QB hits, four pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 63 games (26 starts) in his four years in Green Bay.
Isaiah McDuffie Injured, Questionable To Return On Sunday
Green Bay Packers linebacker Isaiah McDuffie (stinger) is questionable to return to Sunday's Super Wild Card matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The 24-year-old exited due to a stinger, and he will finish with six tackles (five solo) if he doesn't return. The Packers also saw Jaire Alexander (ankle) exit. However, with Green Bay up big in the fourth quarter, McDuffie probably won't be back. The same can be said for Alexander, especially if the team hopes to get them both on the field for the Packers' next postseason game, assuming Green Bay keeps the lead.
