The Green Bay Packers are releasing cornerback Nate Hobbs after one expensive, injury-shortened season, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.
Hobbs, 26, signed a four-year, $48 million contract last March that included a $16 million roster bonus and a $1.2 million base salary in 2025. He would have been due a $6.25 million roster bonus on Friday.
He played in 11 games (five starts) and contributed two passes defensed and 27 tackles in fewer than 400 snaps.
Hobbs joined Green Bay after four seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders, who drafted him in the fifth round in 2021. He had 281 tackles, three sacks, three interceptions and 19 passes defensed in 51 games (38 starts) with the Raiders.
With Hobbs designated as a post-June 1 release, the move will save the Packers the roster bonus and $8.8 million against the salary cap, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Hobbs, once envisioned as a replacement for Jaire Alexander in Green Bay, became expendable with the Packers' reported agreement Tuesday with veteran cornerback Benjamin St-Juste on a two-year, $10 million deal.
St-Juste, 28, recorded 37 tackles, one interception and seven passes defensed in 16 games (two starts) last season with the Los Angeles Chargers.
A third-round pick by Washington in 2021, he has 243 tackles, two picks, 41 passes defensed, four forced fumbles and three sacks in 70 games (47 starts) with the Commanders (2021-24) and Chargers.
