Packers NFL Free Agency Tracker: New Homes for AJ Dillon, Josh Myers

First, the good news for the Green Bay Packers in NFL free agency: They won’t have to break the bank to keep any of their players.

Now, the bad news as they try to improve a roster that went 11-6 in the regular season but was swept by the Eagles, Lions and Vikings: It’s a “really bad group overall” one executive told Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer about this year’s free-agent class.

In retrospect, this comment from general manager Brian Gutekunst said as much: “Every year there’s not going to be a Josh Jacobs or a Xavier McKinney out there to go get.”

Here is the latest on the Packers in free agency. The negotiating window will open at 11 a.m. (Central) on Monday, and players can officially sign with the start of the league-year at 3 p.m. Wednesday.

Free Agents Added

CB Nate Hobbs, Raiders (26): With Keisean Nixon moving from the slot to cornerback, the Packers have a new slot with Hobbs. A fifth-round pick in 2021, Hobbs has three interceptions and 19 passes defensed in four seasons encompassing 51 games and 38 starts. In 11 games (seven starts) in 2024, he intercepted one pass with five passes defensed. With inside-outside experience, he could factor at both spots.

According to PFF, 108 cornerbacks played at least 232 coverage snaps (Jaire Alexander’s numbers). Hobbs ranked 74th in completion percentage, 78th in snaps per completion and 64th in passer rating (96.3). However, the coverage numbers at Sports Info Solutions told a completely different story with one of the lowest completion rates in the NFL. Remarkably, he was not penalized.

According to NFL Network, it’s a four-year deal worth $48 million, including $16 million guaranteed.
