In a move to strengthen their secondary, the Green Bay Packers have secured the services of free agent Xavier McKinney. The signing was confirmed by McKinney's agent, David Mughuleta. The deal inked between McKinney and the Packers is a lucrative four-year agreement worth a staggering $68 million.

As the Packers bid farewell to Darnell Savage, who agreed to terms with the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier in the day, they were in dire need of reinforcements in their defensive backfield. With a couple of other safeties on their roster headed for free agency, the addition of McKinney fills a clear void.

McKinney, who spent the past four seasons with the New York Giants, was rumored to be a potential candidate for a transition tag by the Giants before the deadline earlier this month. However, the team decided against using the tag, allowing McKinney to enter free agency and ultimately secure a more lucrative deal.

Impressively, McKinney started every game for the Giants last season, showcasing his durability and commitment to his craft. He recorded an impressive 116 tackles, three interceptions, a forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries, cementing his status as a versatile and impactful player in the secondary.

The Packers' decision to bring McKinney onboard not only bolsters their defensive unit but also provides stability and experience. The 23-year-old safety's arrival brings a level of playmaking ability that will undoubtedly complement the rest of the Packers' defensive scheme.

With the signing of Xavier McKinney, the Green Bay Packers have demonstrated that they are committed to fortifying their roster ahead of the upcoming season. The addition of McKinney's talent and production will undoubtedly enhance their chances of success as they strive for championship glory.
