One of the biggest strengths for the Packers in recent years has been their defensive secondary, with playmakers roaming the field at all four spots. With that in mind, Green Bay locked down the youngest of that group earlier this evening, agreeing to a three year contract extension with safety Nick Collins.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Packers deal with Collins will reportedly pay him $24.4 million over the three seasons and includes $14 million in guaranteed money that will be paid out next season.

Just 26 years old, Collins had a strong 2009 campaign, racking up 53 tackles, one sack, and six interceptions and was selected to represent the NFC squad in the Pro Bowl for the second straight season.
