Overview

• The Green Bay Packers have signed former Raiders cornerback Nate Hobbs to a four-year, $48 million contract, including $16 million guaranteed.
• Hobbs primarily plays as a slot cornerback, a role that differentiates him from Jaire Alexander, who has been a key outside corner for the team.
• Reports suggest that the Packers may trade or release Alexander, but team sources indicate no immediate plans to move him, leaving his future uncertain.
• The Packers' secondary remains thin despite Hobbs' addition, with only five recognized cornerbacks currently on the roster.
• Hobbs' injury history and mixed performance metrics, including a Pro Football Focus grade of 61.4 in 2024, highlight the challenges ahead for Green Bay's defensive backfield.
