"Walker, the 22nd pick in the 2022 draft, served as a full-time starter in Green Bay throughout his four-year run there. The former Georgia Bulldog opened his career with three straight 100-tackle seasons, during which he combined for 6.5 sacks. The Packers still declined Walker's fifth-year option for 2026 last spring, though it did not come as a surprise."
"Playing what proved to be his last Packers season in 2025, Walker collected a career-high 128 tackles in 14 games. He added eight TFLs, a personal-best seven QB hits, five passes defensed and 2.5 sacks. Despite quality production, Pro Football Focus took a harsh view of Walker's 2025 in ranking his performance 76th among 88 qualifiers at his position."
"In heading to Las Vegas, Walker will reunite with former Georgia teammate Nakobe Dean. After spending his first four seasons in Philadelphia, Dean agreed to a three-year, $36MM pact with the Raiders on Monday. Walker and Dean starred in college as part of Georgia's linebacker corps, especially during a national title-winning campaign in 2021."
The Raiders agreed to sign linebacker Quay Walker to a four-year, $40.5MM deal with $28MM in guarantees, beating out the Cowboys and other interested teams. Walker, the 22nd overall pick in 2022, spent four seasons with Green Bay as a full-time starter, recording three consecutive 100-tackle seasons to start his career. In 2025, his final Packers season, Walker posted 128 tackles, seven QB hits, five passes defensed, and 2.5 sacks across 14 games. In Las Vegas, Walker reunites with former Georgia teammate Nakobe Dean, who also signed with the Raiders on Monday. The two starred together in college, including during Georgia's 2021 national championship season.
