Good kickers are hard to come by. It’s a thankless position that typically goes unnoticed until you need a new one. The Packers were fortunate to find their franchise kicker in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft, but those days could be over.
Mason Crosby is a free agent, and unless he takes a team-friendly deal, it is unlikely that he will be back with Green Bay in 2023. Then again, he could retire altogether and force the team to find a replacement.
If Crosby’s time with the Packers really is over, fans may want to take a second to appreciate what he has done over the last 16 seasons.
