As another round of organized team activities (OTAs) open up in Green Bay, it’s worth noting that 15 players for the Packers have workout bonuses in their contracts for 2023.
Overall, the Packers could pay up to $4.8 million in workout bonuses if all 15 players hit the percentage goals in their contracts.
The Packers use the bonuses as a financial incentive to get veteran players back to Green Bay for a majority of the voluntary offseason workout program, which concludes in June.
The following players have workout bonuses, per OTC:
