The Raiders have secured Quay Walker on a three-year, $40.5 million contract, with $28 million guaranteed. Walker’s move comes after Green Bay added Zaire Franklin via trade, signaling that the Packers were ready to shift direction.
A former first-round pick, Walker averaged 117.25 tackles per season over his four years in Wisconsin, showcasing his physical skills and playmaking potential, though mental lapses limited his consistency. The $13.5 million average annual salary puts him just behind Pittsburgh’s Patrick Queen among top-paid linebackers. The Raider duo reunites two former Georgia teammates as Las Vegas invests heavily in its second-level defense under new head coach Klint Kubiak.
