After re-signing two of their own in the opening week of free agency, the Green Bay Packers’ cornerback position — a room that coming into the offseason featured little depth — is starting to fill out. Not only did the Packers bring back Keisean Nixon and Corey Ballentine, but both players received significant raises from 2023.
After a breakout season as a kick returner in 2022, Nixon re-signed with Green Bay on a one-year, $4 million contract. Along with that money came a new expectation: That the cornerback would also contribute as the team’s slot corner moving forward.
