On Friday, Pro Football Focus’ Doug Kyed reported that the Green Bay Packers will sign cornerback Keisean Nixon. The Las Vegas Raiders had an opportunity to tender Nixon, then a restricted free agent, this offseason but chose not to in March, making Nixon an unrestricted free agent.
Nixon is more of a special teams player than a true cornerback, playing 692 special teams snaps over three years with the Raiders to just 273 defensive snaps. He did register two starts on defense for the team but saw a high of 155 snaps played in 2020, accounting for just 15 percent of Las Vegas’ total defensive snaps.
