The Green Bay Packers have moved on from a number of key veterans this off-season. Headlined by Aaron Rodgers, the Packers got significantly younger over the last few months. Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard, Robert Tonyan, Marcedes Lewis, Adrian Amos, and Mason Crosby will all be suiting up elsewhere in 2023. However, Crosby remains the only one who has yet to sign with a new team. According to one report, that could change soon.
Mason Crosby Connected To The Cleveland Browns In Latest Report (NFL)
Jordan Sigler of Wisconsin Sports Heroics reported earlier today:
Max Dibble with Heavy recently wrote about a possible destination for the kicker. The Cleveland Browns saw their kicker, Cade York, go 0-2 in field goals in their first preseason game. Dibble acknowledged that Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is publicly backing up York but thinks there could be a change coming behind the scenes with Stefanski on the hot seat:
“While toeing the company line is all well and good when the games don’t count, Browns fans can expect Stefanski’s tune to change quickly if York’s issues continue and end up costing Cleveland wins during a regular season in which the head coach must deliver if he hopes to keep his own job secure.
Given the circumstances, Cleveland should be (and probably is) considering contingency plans if York can’t get himself on track. Kickers come and go all the time in the NFL, though a handful of names have been stalwarts over the past decade or two. Perhaps no specialist embodies that kind of career longevity more than 16-year veteran Mason Crosby.”
Unfortunately for Packers fans, Crosby suiting up for the Browns would make a lot of sense. He has spent his NFL career in the Midwest, so kicking in Ohio’s cold weather shouldn’t be an issue for him.
Green Bay Packers Fans Reacted On Social Media To Mason Crosby Possibly Joining The Cleveland Browns
Crosby has turned into one of the most well-known Packers in franchise history. He is currently the all-time leading scorer for the team with 1,918 points. He joined he Packers in 2007 and has been with the team ever since. With Anders Carlson (Crosby’s replacement) struggling at times, fans have called for the Packers to bring back veteran Crosby for one more year. When fans heard that he could be signing elsewhere, it didn’t exactly sit well with them. However, it did sit well with Cleveland Browns fans:

@Browns better dump Cade York NOW and sign either Ryan Succop or Mason Crosby.Both were flawless in FG’s under 50 yards and made almost every XP.@NFL #Browns @MaryKayCabot @ryansuccop pic.twitter.com/7BHhLrS11H

This #Browns team is way to talented to have a hole at kicker. If we’re going to be competitive we need someone we can rely on. Mason Crosby & Robby Gould are a call away. Let’s make it happen
