The Green Bay Packers are re-signing Keisean Nixon to a three-year, $18 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Nixon was named a first-team All-Pro in both 2022 and 2023 as a return man, but last season is when he saw his defensive role heightened, playing a career-high 809 snaps with the majority of those coming as the Packers' slot corner. He remained extremely effective on kickoff returns, averaging an NFL-best 26.1 yards per return while leading the league in total kickoff returns (30) and yards (782).

He also returned 30 kicks for 782 yards and 14 punts for 95 yards.Nixon's exploits in the return game earned him first-team All-Pro honors for a second straight year, and he was also more involved on the defensive side of the ball than he was in any of his first four seasons as a professional. Nixon will be a free agent this offseason and figures to garner interest from several teams, but the Green Bay Packers will also presumably be interested in keeping him in Green Bay.
