Amidst Rodgers saga, the Packers' biggest offseason move was re-signing All-Pro CB

Keisean Nixon is going to be with the Green Bay Packers for at least one more season, and in an offseason that has been dominated by Aaron Rodgers and his "will-he, won't-he" saga, this is the best thing the team could have done for its future.

It was reported earlier in the day that Nixon will be re-signed by the Packers to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million. This, according to long-time beat reporter Tom Silverstein. 

"Nixon turned down a better offer because he wanted to play for special teams coach Rich Bisaccia, who had coached him for three seasons when he was with the Raiders," Silverstein wrote.

The Packers haven't always done things right over the past few seasons (just ask Aaron Rodgers), but the moves general manager Brian Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur have made on special teams in the past year have all been winners.

It started with Bisaccia but now continues with re-signed Nixon.

Hiring Bisaccia to coach special teams last offseason after he led the Raiders to the playoffs as an interim head coach was a brilliant move by the Packers' brain trust. Retaining Bisaccia this season despite interest from other teams, while also promoting him to assistant head coach was the natural follow-up and a huge win for the unit. 

Having him in the room and him being reason enough for Nixon to turn down another (better) offer to come back to Green Bay has to be the cherry on top for the Packers. 

Nixon is arguably the best kick returner in the game right now and he absolutely revolutionized Green Bay's special team's play. 

And what a story he is, too. 

He was the proverbial "nobody" at the start of last season. He was a backup corner and nothing more than a body to fill a jersey until the coaching staff wised up on his abilities as a returner. When the Pack cut Amari Rodgers—one of the worst returners of all-time perhaps—and gave Nixon the opportunity to shine, he did everything in his power to seize that opportunity. And seize it he did. 

Despite only returning kickoffs for about half the season, he finished with 1,009 kick return yards and a touchdown, averaging 28.8 yards per carry.  

He was explosive every time he touched the football. 

Nixon was named an All-Pro kick returner and the rest is history for him, including this contract.

Forget Rodgers. It's the Nixon-era of Green Bay Packers football, now.
