Mason Crosby Retires After Brief Giants Stint

Mason Crosby, the all-time leading scorer for the Green Bay Packers, has announced his retirement from the NFL, choosing to retire as a Packer after a brief stint with the New York Giants in 2023. Over 16 seasons with Green Bay, Crosby set numerous franchise records, including career points (1,918), field goals (395), and 50-yard field goals (43), and was part of the Super Bowl XLV championship team in 2011. Known for his consistency, he is one of only two NFL players to score 1,900-plus points with one team, and he ranks third in NFL history for seasons surpassing 100 points. Crosby's contributions also include 12 game-winning field goals, with a memorable 51-yarder against Dallas in 2017. Post-retirement, Crosby plans to remain active in the Wisconsin community and is currently hosting a radio show in Milwaukee. The Packers, having struggled to replace Crosby, drafted Anders Carlson in 2024, but the team continues to seek a reliable successor.
