Preston Smith Fantasy

The Green Bay Packers agreed to a four-year extension worth $52.5 million in new money with pass-rusher Preston Smith on Monday, according to a source. He'll receive $65 million over five years in all with a chance to make $71 million. Smith will make $14 million in Year 1 of the deal. The 29-year-old was originally scheduled for a $19.7 million salary cap hit, so this extension will help the Packers in 2022. Za'Darius Smith, who played in just one game in 2021 due to a back injury, is unlikely to return given the team's salary cap situation this year. Preston Smith managed 38 tackles (25 solo), nine tackles for loss, 17 QB hits, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and nine sacks in 16 regular season games for the Packers in 2021.

Green Bay Packers linebacker Preston Smith (oblique) and cornerback Kevin King (shoulder) are out for the Week 7 battle against the Washington Football Team on Sunday. Smith will break his consecutive games played streak at 102 after suffering an oblique injury in last week's win over the Chicago Bears. King will be missing his second straight game with his shoulder injury. Eric Stokes, Chandon Sullivan and Rasul Douglas will once again serve as Green Bay's starting corners on Sunday. Green Bay's defense loses a little luster with Smith out of the lineup, but they're still on the streaming radar for this weekend against Washington.
