The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions figure to be competing for the NFC North crown in 2024. At least, the “way too early predictions” seem to think so. Both teams will be looking to fine tune their roster in order to compete for a championship in 2024. That fine tuning could include the Lions poaching a Packers All-Pro.
The Detroit Lions May Show Interest In Green Bay Packers All-Pro For 2024
Wendell Ferreira of A to Z Sports highlighted why this move would make a ton of sense for Detroit:
There are two reasons for that, one for each role Nixon is able to execute. Kalif Raymond is a good punt returner, but Nixon would be a major upgrade over Khalil Dorsey as a kickoff returner.
Moreover, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Emmanuel Moseley, Will Harris, and Kindle Vildor are all free agents. Nixon would give the Lions slot cornerback depth, maybe even allowing Brian Branch to move to deep safety.
Keisean Nixon will be another key player hitting free agency this offseason for the Green Bay Packers. The injury to cornerback Jaire Alexander forced him to start numerous games this season. For the second consecutive season, Nixon was named first-team all-pro on special teams as a kickoff returner for the Packers.
However, the writing may already be on the wall for Nixon and the Packers. Per Packers’ salary cap expert Ken Ingalls:
If the Packers wanted to bring back Savage, Nijman, or Nixon for 2024 it would have been most cost effective to have extended them before their void provisions kicked in.
Extending would have saved:
- -Savage: $4.1M
- -Nijman: $1.9M
- -Nixon: $1.1M
They didn’t – They are likely gone.
If Nixon’s time is in fact over in Green Bay, the Detroit Lions could swoop in for his services.
