Green Bay has signed their first free agent of the offseason! Mason Crosby has agreed to a three year extension to continue his tenure with the Packers. Crosby announced on twitter his excitement:
“I’m so excited and feel so blessed to be staying with the @packers. Pumped for what lies ahead. #2/22/2020.”
ESPN’s Rob Demovsky has reported that it is worth $12.9 million with $6 million guaranteed the first year.
