The Green Bay Packers are getting an extra year with a former draft pick under contract.

According to Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, cornerback Demetri Goodson’s contract was tolled – adding another year to his deal and removing him from free agency in 2018.

Goodson began the season on the physically unable to perform list while recovering from a major knee injury and the resulting reconstructive surgery suffered during the 2016 season. He was eventually activated on Dec. 6, but a hamstring kept him completing his return – and the Packers put him on injured reserve on Dec. 22, ending his season.

A sixth-round pick of the Packers in 2014, Goodson was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. His four-year, $2.3 million entry contract was scheduled to expire. A rule in the new CBA will toll his 2017 season.

Goodson’s cap hit in 2018 will be $715,788.

Goodson played in six games and made three starts for the Packers in 2016. He could provide depth and experience, especially on special teams, if he can make the roster in 2018.

A former college basketball player at Gonzaga who transferred to Baylor to play football, Goodson will turn 29 years old in June. He’s played in 26 NFL games, tallying 30 tackles and two pass deflections.
