Walker's market was far, far cooler than originally expected. Not only did Walker fall well short of $20 million per season, but he had to settle for a one-year deal. A three-year starter at left tackle for the Packers, Walker will now head to Carolina with a chance to rebuild his market during the 2026 season but without the long-term security of a lucrative, multi-year deal.
The Packers are moving on at left tackle with 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan.
Walker, a seventh-round pick in 2022, ended up making 48 starts at left tackle in Green Bay. He played 2,914 total snaps over the last three seasons. While generally reliable as a pass protector, Walker struggled for stretches in 2025 and never became a consistent run blocker.
Walker's cool market hurts the Packers. He looked like a prime candidate to land the Packers a third-round compensatory pick in the 2027 draft. Now, at around $10 million per year, Walker's departure is probably only good for a sixth-rounder.
Walker's signing probably finishes the story on comp picks. The Packers are likely to get a third- or fourth-round pick for losing Malik Willis, a fourth-round pick for losing Romeo Doubs, a fifth-round pick for losing Quay Walker and a fifth- or sixth-round pick for losing Walker.
