Green Bay Packers fans still have a soft spot for legendary kicker Mason Crosby. Crosby, the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, wasn’t re-signed after the 2022 season. Many fans were skeptical about the decision, however, rookie kicker Anders Carlson has come in and done a pretty decent job. So far in 2023 Carlson is perfect from 39 yards and under (12/12). He is 3/7 on kicks over 40 yards however. On the season he is 15/19 and 20/23 on extra points. A typical rookie season for a kicker who still has promise in this league.
That doesn’t stop Packers fans from watching what Crosby is doing from afar, and that was no different today.
Former Green Bay Packers Kicker Mason Crosby Has Workout With An NFC Rival
Matthew Brown of Wisconsin Sports Heroics first reported the news for our site:
Mason Crosby was a staple for the Green Bay Packers organization for years. He kicked for 16 years and had some huge playoff moments for the team. The team decided to move on to rookie Anders Carlson this year leaving Crosby as a free agent. While he has gotten some workouts, he hasn’t signed with a team. Another NFC team, the New Orleans Saints, is bringing in Crosby for a workout.
The Saints haven’t liked what they have seen out of their rookie kicker. He has missed some crucial kicks and is 24/30 on the season. Despite a strong performance on Sunday, the team is looking at all options. Crosby would make a lot of sense.
His career field goal success rate of 81.4% and a lot of his struggles were early in his career. In his later years, his percentages went way up. The only concern with Crosby is his age. The 39-year-old has lost some of his leg power over the years which would be a concern for some teams.
Packers Fans React To Crosby Possibly Finding A New Home
When Packers fans saw Crosby could possibly have a new home, they reacted accordingly on social media:

Oh he didn’t go to the Jets with all those other players…..Guess he is a Saint. Really,you couldn’t pay him just to stay on…I bet you got enough money in your wallet to have kept a 16 year kicker…..See…..”Crosby for the Extra Points” may seem like nothing….but it would be music to our ears….Loved it.
I still have hopes that somebody in the head office will wise up & resign Mason Crosby!! I’m not suggesting getting rid of Carlson, but, like our qb’s, why not let him watch & learn a season or two from the BEST!!! Get #2 back… NOW!! PLEASE-FOR THE WILD CARD’S SAKE!
