Add one kicker’s prematurely scratched-off name back to your list of free-agent possibilities for the Green Bay Packers. Mason Crosby seemed like he was out of the Packers’ plans this season as of this weekend, but that appears not to be the case as of Tuesday.
Crosby’s wife, Molly Crosby, took to social media Saturday to welcome Simone Biles to Green Bay after her husband, Jonathan Owens, signed with the Packers Friday. Molly wanted to let Biles know about the best restaurants and shops to visit while in Green Bay. She wrote:
“Sad we will miss you, we just ended a 16 year run with the team…that being said… I’ve got stuff I need to share with you. Little city with a big heart and some AMAZING stores and restaurants. We loved our time there and so will you! Let’s talk coats, boots, custom packer gear…”
The Green Bay Packers are communicating with Mason Crosby
Packers fans and members of the media took that to mean Mason would not be returning to play for the Packers this season. But Tuesday afternoon, Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia seemed to throw water on that assumption. According to Matt Schneidman with The Althetic, Bisaccia said the Packers were still in talks with Crosby’s team to sign the veteran kicker:
“We’re still in conversation … He’s not on anybody’s team yet.”

It looks like the Packers are interested in keeping Crosby in Green Bay next season. The Packers recently took a kicker in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Packers might look to see how Anders Carlson does in OTAs before deciding if they want to pay Crosby this season. However, the Packers might need to strike soon for Crosby, as the Dallas Cowboys need a kicker.
