Strikes it big with Pack
The Packers and McKinney agreed to terms on a four-year, $68 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
McKinney is coming off a career-best 116 tackles with the Giants in 2023, supplementing that total with three interceptions, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and 0.5 sacks in 17 contests. With Darnell Savage moving on to the Jaguars earlier Monday, safety was among the top needs for the Packers this offseason, and McKinney will slot in as the team's new starting free safety.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May be targeted by division rival
The Eagles could pursue McKinney in free agency, Zach Berman of ALLPHLY.com reports.
ANALYSIS
McKinney was not given the franchise tag by the Giants, so he's set to hit the open market March 13. He's coming off a productive season during which he posted 116 tackles with 11 passes defensed and three interceptions. Entering his age-24 campaign, McKinney should receive plenty of interest from teams around the league. Meanwhile, the Eagles are set to part ways with Kevin Byard and are likely to be a key player in the safety market this offseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
McKinney's 2022 campaign was marred by a hand injury suffered during the Giants' bye week. The safety missed seven contests but was able to return at the end of the season and played on every defensive snap during New York's two-game playoff run. McKinney tallied 16 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble over those two games, showcasing his considerable talent. The Alabama product is in the final year of his rookie deal and may have something to prove after last year's injury. McKinney emerged as a rising star in 2021 and will look to recapture that magic during the coming campaign.
