The Green Bay Packers rebuilt their roster following the 2021 season, in which they were the top seed in the NFC but were eliminated in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs. They gradually began to replace veteran players with fresh draft picks. Of course, one of their first actions was to trade wide receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders for two high-round draft picks.
However, transferring Adams was not their only move. Following the 2022 season, Green Bay traded Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, paving the way for Jordan Love. In addition, the Packers decided not to re-sign kicker Mason Crosby, the franchise’s all-time leading scorer. Instead, they selected Anders Carlson in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, which proved disastrous.
Former Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby has retired from the NFL.
Crosby announced his retirement earlier this week. He did not play in the NFL in 2024, and his last appearance was with the New York Giants late in the 2023 season.
Crosby has hosted his own sports talk radio show in Milwaukee, 1250 the Fan, for the past year. However, his actual retirement, which will be finalized after he signs a one-day contract with Green Bay to retire as a Packer, has supporters nostalgic about all of the times he came up big for the team.
Today, he issued a statement, which stated in part:
“Retiring as a Packers is my way of stating that, even though I now live in a another state, I am still an ambassador. But now, instead of cheering me on, it’s my turn to promote and celebrate all that Wisconsin has accomplished. You will continue to hear and see me around, trying my best to bring attention to all of the wonderful things that are going on in the neighborhood while also assisting critical community organizations.”
One of the beautiful things about Wisconsin is the Packers organization, and Crosby is excited to see one of his old teammates return home.
Mason Crosby Would like Davante Adams to return to the Green Bay Packers.
On November 21, 2021, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (17) scored a touchdown against Minnesota Vikings free safety Xavier Woods (23) in the third quarter.
As previously stated, Crosby currently hosts a radio show that airs in Milwaukee. On one social media post, the station discussed the DK Metcalf trade rumors and if the Packers would be able to strike a deal with the Seattle Seahawks.
Crosby, however, would want to see Adams return:
Adams was recently released from the Jets and is now a free agent. While he has expressed a desire to return to the Packers this summer, he has also been linked to West Coast teams that could offer him the opportunity to play closer to home.
That said, many current and past Packers players would like to see Adams return to Green Bay.
