General manager Brian Gutekunst doesn’t know who his kicker will be during the 2023 season, but it’s sounding more and more like Mason Crosby returning to the cap-strapped Green Bay Packers is an unlikely option.
“We’ll see, right?” Gutekunst said from the NFL Owners Meetings on Monday when asked who will be his kicker next season. “That’s to be determined.”
Crosby, a 2007 draft pick who has played all 16 seasons with the Packers, is an unrestricted free agent. He’ll turn 39 years old later this year. Gutekunst said the salary cap is a hurdle to Crosby returning for a 17th season in 2023.
