Lukas Van Ness will remain with Green Bay through 2027 after the Packers exercised his fifth-year option. The defensive end has accumulated just 8.5 sacks over three seasons but the organization is betting on continued development. Van Ness will count $11.3M against the cap in 2026, locking in a key piece of the defensive line rotation.
Fantasy Impact: NEUTRAL
Van Ness has minimal fantasy relevance in redraft leagues. Dynasty and best ball players can deprioritize him given the modest sack production and focus on other defensive ends with higher upside in the 2026 draft class.
