Former Texas A&M LB Edgerrin Cooper signs his rookie contract with the Packers
According to the organization, former Texas A&M All-American linebacker and 2024 2nd-round pick Edgerrin Cooper signed his rookie contract with the Green Bay Packers on Thursday.
Cooper's contract is a four-year deal worth up to 8.6 million, along with a 3 million signing bonus. He will have a chance to compete for a starting spot early, as the Packers are looking for someone to play alongside Quay Walker. In his final season at Texas A&M, Cooper emerged as one of the top defensive players in college football and was ranked as a top-five linebacker in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Cooper's impressive stats from last season, including 84 tackles, 17 TFLs, and eight sacks, and his projection as a first-round pick, speak volumes about his potential. His unique combination of speed and size makes him an exciting addition to the Packers through the off-season and prepares for the roster. As prepares to earn a spot on the game-day roster, we extend our warmest wishes to Cooper. We're rooting for his success and can't wait to see him shine in the NFL.
