The Packers are paying Keisean Nixon like an elite slot defender

As we enter the full swing of draft season, many Green Bay Packers fans are wondering how high of a priority adding competition to the slot defender position is on the team’s list of needs. Based on the money that the franchise just handed cornerback Keisean Nixon, though, it appears that he is going to be the squad’s primary option at the position for the next two seasons.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Nixon’s three-year contract functionally acts as a two-year, $13 million deal that gives the Packers an option to bring him back for $5 million in 2026.
