Green Bay Packers sign CB Keisean Nixon

On Friday, Pro Football Focus’ Doug Kyed reported that the Green Bay Packers will sign cornerback Keisean Nixon. The Las Vegas Raiders had an opportunity to tender Nixon, then a restricted free agent, this offseason but chose not to in March, making Nixon an unrestricted free agent.

Nixon is more of a special teams player than a true cornerback, playing 692 special teams snaps over three years with the Raiders to just 273 defensive snaps. He did register two starts on defense for the team but saw a high of 155 snaps played in 2020, accounting for just 15 percent of Las Vegas’ total defensive snaps.
