Nate Hobbs Joins Packers on $48 Million Deal

The Green Bay Packers have signed cornerback Nate Hobbs to a four-year, $48 million contract, marking a significant addition to their secondary. Hobbs, previously with the Las Vegas Raiders, struggled with injuries but has shown potential as a strong slot corner when healthy. His signing indicates that the Packers may be moving on from cornerback Jaire Alexander and not retaining Eric Stokes. In response to losing Hobbs, the Raiders have also seen the departure of three other defensive starters, raising concerns about their defensive depth. Meanwhile, Green Bay has also added offensive guard Aaron Banks to bolster their roster for the 2025 season. As the Raiders navigate free agency, they are in need of reinforcements, particularly in their secondary.
