The Green Bay Packers want cornerback/kickoff returner Keisean Nixon back on a new deal in 2023, but the 2022 All-Pro is expected to reach free agency and have a “strong market,” per Bill Huber of SI.com.
Nixon, who signed a one-year deal with the Packers last March, played 289 snaps as a slot cornerback last season but made his biggest mark as a kickoff returner. He led the NFL in kickoff returns (35), kickoff return yards (1,009) and kickoff returns over 50 yards (five), and his 105-yard touchdown return against the Vikings was the NFL’s longest of the season.
