Tom’s performance in 2024 only strengthened the team’s interest. He allowed just 24 total pressures throughout the season and ranked third among right tackles in All-Pro voting, coming in behind Penei Sewell of the Detroit Lions and Lane Johnson of the Philadelphia Eagles. His reliability has made him a crucial part of Green Bay’s protection unit.

Tom isn’t the only lineman facing a contract year. Left tackle Rasheed Walker and right guard Sean Rhyan are also in the final year of their rookie deals. The Packers are making some smart moves by bringing in linemen Jordan Morgan (first round, 2024) and Anthony Belton (second round, 2025) to bolster their roster. With these top draft picks, they’re not just aiming to enhance their lineup for the present but also to secure their future. Both players have the versatility to play either guard or tackle, which adds some much-needed depth to the team.
