Former University of Illinois and Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Nate Hobbs will reportedly sign a four-year, $48 million contract with the Green Bay Packers.
Hobbs' agent, Gregg Linton, has told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Hobbs is headed to Green Bay and provided details of the deal. Hobbs on Tuesday offered thanks and posted a farewell to Raiders fans on his Instagram account:
"Thank you for acceptting me as your own!" Hobbs posted, in part. "The love I received over the last 4 years has been overwhelming. I never ever thought a kid like me from LOUISVILLE would get a chance, like the chance I was given.
