US EditionCornerback Switch: Packers Agree on Two-Year, $10 Million Deal with Benjamin St-Juste, Move on From Nate Hobbs
- Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers signed veteran cornerback Benjamin St-Juste to a two-year, $10 million deal with up to $10.5 million in incentives and released cornerback Nate Hobbs.
- With injuries limiting performance at cornerback, the Packers moved to add depth since Nate Hobbs was limited to 358 defensive snaps over 11 games, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said adding cornerback depth was a top offseason priority.
- Pro Football Focus graded St‑Juste the league's top cornerback in zone coverage at 90.1 and gave him an overall defender grade of 76.3 in 2025, playing 356 snaps for the Chargers.
- The move immediately gives Green Bay depth while a source indicated Hobbs would be designated a post‑June 1 cut, which would free $8.38 million in cap space this season.
- Hobbs' contract history — a four‑year, $48 million deal and $17.88 million paid last season — highlights the financial cost amid cap-clearing moves like trading Rashan Gary and releasing Elgton Jenkins, signaling broader Packers reset.
