The Green Bay Packers signed free agent cornerback Nate Hobbs to a four-year, $48 million contract, signaling a likely departure of Jaire Alexander either through trade or release. Hobbs primarily plays in the slot, allowing Keisean Nixon to return to his preferred outside position. Despite an injury-plagued career with the Raiders, Hobbs showcased versatility and solid performances, particularly in his best season in 2023, where he accumulated 86 tackles and seven passes defended.
Hobbs, who played four seasons at Illinois, was a fifth-round selection by the Raiders in 2021. His best statistical season came in 2023 when he recorded 86 tackles (six for loss), an interception and seven passes defended.
Hobbs, 25, battled injuries throughout his time with Las Vegas. He missed 17 games in four seasons, including six in 2024. In 11 games (seven starts) last season, Hobbs totaled 49 tackles, five passes defended and an interception.
