A mid-season elevation from the practice squad can dramatically alter a young player’s financial trajectory. For Green Bay Packers tight end Josh Whyle, this recent move is a game-changer, but how does it stack up against his earnings from his rookie deal?

Josh Whyle’s net worth is about $4,131,947, coming from his tenures at the

Tennessee Titans and the Green Bay Packers. This number represents his total compensation over his three-year NFL tenure, including base salary and bonuses.

The tight end was a fifth-round pick by the Titans in the

2023 NFL draft. Although he signed a four-year contract, the Titans waived him last year, right before the beginning of this season. Playing two out of four years on the contract, he made about $1.9 million, which included the base salary and the bonus. Now, as part of the Green Bay Packers’ roster, his annual income is $1,030,000.

After Whyle was initially added to the practice squad, he was given a one-year contract in November 2025. His current contract is valid untill the end of this season. Unlike his previous Titans contract, where he received a signing bonus of $325,372, his Packers contract has no signing bonus or guaranteed money.

In 2026, he is going to be a Restricted Free Agent (RFA), meaning the Packers have the right to retain him if they match an offer from any other team.

What is Josh Whyle’s Salary?

While Josh Whyle has a season-long contract now, he came into the Green Bay Packers as a practice squad member, where the salary was drastically different from that of the actual roster. The NFL practice squad members generally earn about $13,000 a week. Hence, this was his initial salary before he was offered a new deal on November 4, 2025.

Under the current contract as an active roster player, the tight end’s salary is $1,030,000, while the cap hit is $514,998. Although he doesn’t have guaranteed money, the base salary is still more than his rookie contract with the Tennessee Titans. In his rookie year, Whyle’s base salary was $750,000, while the following year, his base pay was $915,000. Had he completed his previous contract tenure, his total earnings would have been over $4 million.
