"Cornerback is one of the spots where general manager Brian Gutekunst said he wanted to add depth this offseason. The Packers return starters Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine but have a decision to make on whether to retain Nate Hobbs, a free agent they signed last offseason."
"After four years with the Washington Commanders, St-Juste played last season for the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year, $2.5 million deal. He played in 16 games -- with two starts -- but played only 35% of the defensive snaps. He was a core special teams player, appearing on 67% of all special teams plays."
"For his career, the 6-foot-3 and 200-pound St-Juste has appeared in 70 games with 47 starts (45 of which were for the Commanders). He has two career interceptions (one in 2023 and one last season) and 41 career pass breakups."
The Green Bay Packers agreed to sign cornerback Benjamin St-Juste to a two-year, $10 million contract, marking their first outside free agent acquisition of the offseason. St-Juste, 28, joins the team after spending the previous season with the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year deal. The signing addresses general manager Brian Gutekunst's stated goal of adding depth at cornerback. The Packers retain starters Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine while deciding whether to keep free agent Nate Hobbs, who is owed a $6.25 million roster bonus if retained. St-Juste brings career experience from four seasons with the Washington Commanders and has recorded two interceptions and 41 pass breakups across 70 career games.
