The Green Bay Packers have been active in free agency over the past few seasons. In 2024, the team signed safety Xavier McKinney and running back Josh Jacobs. Last year, they added left guard Aaron Banks and cornerback Nate Hobbs. That’s the nature of free agency — it works greatly sometimes, and not as well at different points.

Now, the Packers start a pivotal 2026 league year. With Jordan Love and Micah Parsons under contract for several seasons, it’s the true beginning of a championship window, and the players Brian Gutekunst add can be extremely helpful to reach a Super Bowl — or some bad decisions can make the road tougher.

So, let’s keep track of every move Green Bay makes over the next few days.

Packers external additions

• The Packers signed former Washington Commanders and Los Angeles Chargers CB Benjamin St-Juste to a two-year, $10 million contract.
• Green Bay also signed wide receiver and kick returner Skyy Moore.
• The Packers signed defensive tackle Javon Hargrave to a two-year, $23 million contract. He had been released by the Minnesota Vikings.

Re-signings

• The Packers have extended center Sean Rhyan on a three-year, $33 million contract ahead of free agency.
• The Packers re-signed backup offensive lineman Darian Kinnard on a one-year contract worth up to $3.75 million.
• Green Bay keeps both linebackers/special teamers Nick Niemann and Kristian Welch.
• Exclusive-rights free agent CB/WR Bo Melton is also back, as expected.
• The Packers didn’t tender RFA Brenton Cox Jr., but re-signed him on a one-year, $2.5 million deal.
• Defensive tackle Jonathan Ford and tight end Josh Whyle also re-signed for less than what they would get with an RFA tender.
• The Packers tendered ERFA offensive lineman Donovan Jennings and cornerback Kamal Hadden.

Departures

• Not exactly a free agent move, but the Packers traded Rashan Gary to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2027 fourth-round pick.
• Quarterback Malik Willis signed with the Miami Dolphins on a three-year, $67.5 million deal with $45 million guaranteed.
• Edge defender Kingsley Enagbare signed with the New York Jets. It’s a one-year, $10 million contract.
• The Packers released offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins. He then signed a two-year, $24 million contract with the Cleveland Browns.
• Linebacker Quay Walker signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. Curiously, he will play alongside Nakobe Dean. It’s a three-year, $40.5 million contract for Walker.
• The Packers released cornerback Nate Hobbs with a post-June 1 designation. He signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the San Francisco 49ers.
• Wide receiver Romeo Doubs signed a four-year, $70 million contract with the New England Patriots.
• Safety and special teamer Zayne Anderson signed with the Miami Dolphins, following Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley.
• Left tackle Rasheed Walker signed a one-year contract with the Carolina Panthers.

Other notes

• The Packers didn’t apply a restricted free agent tender on running back Emanuel Wilson, making him an unrestricted free agent. He signed with the Seattle Seahawks. Because the Packers didn’t tender him, Wilson doesn’t count toward the compensatory pick formula even though he became an unrestricted free agent.
• Safety Zayne Anderson won’t get a restricted free agent tender either. He signed with the Miami Dolphins.
• The Packers didn’t tender ERFA interior offensive lineman Lecitus Smith, making him an unrestricted free agent.
