Re-signing slot cornerback Keisean Nixon and the team’s building optimism in Carrington Valentine’s ability entering Year 2 has Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst feeling good about the depth he has at the cornerback position entering the 2024 draft.
“If we can stay healthy there (cornerback), I like the way the competition in that room is shaping up,” Gutekunst said from the league meetings on Monday.
The Packers re-signed Nixon on a three-year deal, providing a likely starter in the slot. Gutekunst also brought back Corey Ballentine on a deal above the minimum, and the Packers think Valentine — a seventh-round pick last year who made 13 starts — is a capable starter.
