The Green Bay Packers have signed free agent cornerback Benjamin St. Juste to a two-year, $10.5 million contract. St. Juste, a 28-year-old native of Montreal, Canada, previously played for the Los Angeles Chargers and Washington. He is expected to help strengthen the Packers' secondary, which was considered one of the team's weaker positions last season.
Why it matters
Cornerback was a major need for the Packers heading into free agency, as the team looks to better defend the pass against talented NFC North wide receiver corps. St. Juste's size and physicality should help the Packers match up against bigger receivers in the division.
The details
St. Juste is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound cornerback who was a third-round pick by Washington in 2021. He spent four seasons with the Washington franchise before joining the Chargers in 2025, where he had 37 tackles and one interception in 16 games. The Packers are hoping St. Juste's size and tackling ability will shore up their secondary and provide a physical presence to slow down division rivals.
- The deal was reported on March 10, 2026, the second day of the NFL's legal tampering free agency period.
