The Packers and McKinney agreed to terms on a four-year, $68 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. McKinney is coming off a career-best 116 tackles with the Giants in 2023, supplementing that total with three interceptions, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and 0.5 sacks in 17 contests. With Darnell Savage moving on to the Jaguars earlier Monday, safety was among the top needs for the Packers this offseason, and McKinney will slot in as the team's new starting free safety.

Xavier McKinney Latest News
Strikes it big with Pack
The Packers and McKinney agreed to terms on a four-year, $68 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. McKinney is coming off a career-best 116 tackles with the Giants in 2023, supplementing that total with three interceptions, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and 0.5 sacks in 17 contests. With Darnell Savage moving on to the Jaguars earlier Monday, safety was among the top needs for the Packers this offseason, and McKinney will slot in as the team's new starting free safety.
Will become free agent
McKinney will not receive the transition tag from the Giants and will become a free agent at the start of the new league year, March 13, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. McKinney's time in New York appears to be over after spending the first four seasons of his career with the squad, which selected him in the second round of the 2020 Draft. The Alabama product appeared in all 17 games last season, recording 116 tackles (78 solo), 11 passes defended and three interceptions. McKinney will likely be one of the most sought-after safeties on the market when free agency opens.
Posts double-digit tackles again
McKinney finished second on New York in stops in the blowout loss, reaching the double-digit tackle mark for the second straight week. That's a noticeable uptick in his output, as he totaled just eight stops over Weeks 7 and 8 combined. McKinney should be able to maintain a solid fantasy floor if he can continue to make an impact as a tackler, though he hasn't picked off a pass over his past 19 games after recorded five interceptions in 2021.
