"Very proud of Lane," Head Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday. "I think any time your players are rewarded financially, that's a very good day here. So he's done all the right things. He's earned it the hard way. He was here all summer. I don't think there was a day I was at work that he wasn't here. So he's earned it. He's put a lot into this, and I'm very happy for him and his family."

He was one of three Packers linemen to start every game last season, along with David Bakhtiari and Bryan Bulaga.

The Packers offensive line ranked in the top 10 in several categories last season including points per game, yards per game and first downs, according to the team.
