Packers to lose CB Eric Stokes to Raiders in free agency

The Green Bay Packers are losing cornerback Eric Stokes to the Las Vegas Raiders, who are signing the 2021 first-round pick to a one-year, $4 million deal, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Stokes (6-1, 194) was the 29th overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft. He started 14 games as a rookie and recorded 14 pass breakups, a team high. But devastating lower body injuries struck midway through his second season in 2022, and Stokes was never the same as a player. In the 29 games since his rookie season, Stokes failed to record a single pass breakup.
