GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – One of the greatest kickers in Packers’ history has announced his retirement from the NFL.
According to Mason Crosby, who made the announcement during his radio show on 105.7 The Fan, the 17-year NFL veteran and Super Bowl Champion has officially retired from the league after not being signed by a team for the 2024 season.
“I’m just so, so thankful, so grateful for the opportunity to come to Green Bay in 2007, drafted in the sixth round out of the University of Colorado, to become a Packer and to be a part of this fraternity and legacy, the history of the Green Bay Packers,” Crosby said. “It’s about the fans. It’s about the people. It’s about my teammates. For me, I was always a ‘we’ guy. We’re doing this. We’re dominating and winning the NFC North nine times while I was a Green Bay Packer for 16 years, making the playoffs, and winning the Super Bowl as a team. For me, everything I remember and everything I think about is about the team.”
Crosby, who is 11th all-time in NFL points scored, made 400 out of 492 career goal tries, for a field goal percentage of around 81.3%, and 31 out of 35 playoff from goal attempts, for an 88.6% accuracy rate. In addition, Crosby played in a franchise-high 258 games with the Packers, three more than Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre.
