You can now buy Josh Jacobs and Xavier McKinney jerseys from the Green Bay Packers’ Pro Shop, as the team has announced their free agent signings’ new numbers.

Packers lose free agent safety target to Rams

Packers lose free agent safety target to Rams

Photo by Mitchell Layton/ For the second time this offseason, a safety that Green Bay was linked to has signed elsewhere. Last week, ESPN’s Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler reported that the Green Bay Packers were “considered a threat in the safety market,” noting that the team had shown interest in both Xavier McKinney and Kamren Curl. They were spot on with the McKinney angle, as the Packers agreed to terms with the former New York Giants on a four-year, $67 million contract on the first day of the “legal tampering period.” McKinney is expected to play free...

We still don’t know exactly how much cap space the Green Bay Packers have to work with in 2024, as all of the details of cornerback Keisean Nixon’s deal have yet to become public, but Spotrac has updated with information on the Packers’ two biggest free agent...

NFL free agency 2024: Xavier McKinney still hopeful of return to Giants

Photo by Cooper Neill/ McKinney tells Kay Adams the two sides are ‘trying to figure something out’ It was reported earlier this week that the New York Giants would not be tagging veteran safety Xavier McKinney, which means he will become an unrestricted free agent on March 13th.

NFL free agency: How could Giants replace Xavier McKinney?

Photo by Ronald Martinez/ Here are some of the players the Giants could look to add The New York Giants did not franchise tag Xavier McKinney, who will now hit the open market when the new league year commences next week. Without McKinney, the Giants desperately need safety help, especially in Shane Bowen’s defense, which frequently features three-safety packages. New York currently has Jason Pinnock, Dane Belton, and Gervarrius Owens at safety. Owens has yet to play a defensive snap, Belton played well down the season's stretch, and Pinnock showed promise, playing...
