Cornerback Nate Hobbs has found a new team.
Hobbs has agreed to sign with the 49ers. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that he has agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million.
Hobbs was released by the Packers this week, so he moved quickly to find another place to play.
The 2025 season was Hobbs’s first in Green Bay and he had 27 tackles in 11 games for the Packers before landing on injured reserve with a knee injury. He had 281 tackles, three interceptions, three sacks, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over four seasons with the Raiders.
Hobbs will join a cornerback group that also includes Deommodore Lenoir, Renardo Green and Upton Stout.

Running back Emanuel Wilson was a restricted free agent whom the Packers didn’t tender, making him an unrestricted free agent. Wilson found a new home on Thursday.
He agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $2.1 million with the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports.
The Seahawks needed help at the position after losing Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs and with Zach Charbonnet working his way back from a knee injury.
Wilson has appeared in 41 regular-season games and four playoff games for Green Bay the past three seasons. He has 242 carries for 1,083 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season and 16 carries for 45 yards in the postseason.
In 2025, Wilson had games of 107 and 82 yards.
Core special teams player Zayne Anderson is following Jeff Hafley from Green Bay to Miami.
Anderson, 29, has agreed to terms with the Dolphins, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports.
Anderson spent the past three seasons in Green Bay, playing 40 games with two starts. A safety, he played 145 defensive snaps and 590 on special teams and totaled 36 tackles, one interception and two pass breakups.
He began his career in 2021 with the Chiefs, and played two seasons in Kansas City.
Anderson was with the Bills in the 2023 offseason and training camp before the Packers claimed him.
It didn’t take long for Javon Hargrave to find a new team.
According to multiple reports, Hargrave will has agreed to a two-year deal with the Packers.
The initial numbers indicate Hargrave’s deal is worth $23 million, with $13 million in 2026.
Word emerged earlier this month that the Vikings planned to release Hargrave after one year with the club. He appeared in 16 games with 15 starts in 2025, recording 52 total tackles with four tackles for loss, six QB hits, and 3.5 sacks.
Hargrave was released on Wednesday.
A third-round pick in the 2016 draft, Hargrave has played 146 career games with 130 starts for Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Minnesota. He’s tallied 49.0 career sacks with 59 tackles for loss and 85 QB hits in his 10 seasons.
Edge rusher Brenton Cox Jr. will be back with the Packers in 2026.
Cox’s agents Adie von Gontard and Ray Haija told ESPN that their client has agreed to a one-year deal to remain in Green Bay. Cox is set to make $2.5 million under the terms of the deal.
Cox dealt with a groin injury during the 2025 season and only appeared in four games for the Packers. He posted four sacks and seven quarterback hits in seven games for the team in 2024, however, and the team will be hoping for him to add a threat off the edge during the coming season.
Micah Parsons, Lukas Van Ness, and Barryn Sorrell also feature in the mix off the edge for Green Bay.
Elgton Jenkins was released by the Packers this week and the veteran offensive lineman has found his next team.
NFL Media reports that Jenkins is expected to sign with the Browns after agreeing to terms with the AFC North team on a contract. It’s a two-year deal worth $24 million with $10 million in guaranteed money.
Jenkins has seen time at all the positions on the offensive line over his seven-year NFL career. He played center in Green Bay during the 2025 season and has played more snaps at guard than any other spot.
It seems likely that he will land on the interior of Cleveland’s line as well. The Browns agreed to a trade with the Texans for tackle Tytus Howard and they are set to sign former Chargers guard Zion Johnson as a free agent.
Romeo Doubs is headed to the AFC East.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Doubs has agreed to a four-year deal with the Patriots.
Rapoport notes the wideout’s contract is worth $70 million.
Doubs, who turns 26 next month, just completed his rookie contract with the Packers. In 2025, he caught 55 passes for 724 yards with six touchdowns in 16 games. He also had eight receptions for 124 yards with a touchdown in Green Bay’s postseason loss to Chicago.
A fourth-round pick in 2022, Doubs finished his first four seasons with 202 receptions for 2,424 yards with 21 touchdowns in 59 games with 50 starts.
With receiver Stefon Diggs on the way out, Doubs could emerge as a top weapon at receiver for quarterback Drake Maye and the defending AFC Champion Patriots in 2026.
After agreeing to sign cornerback Benjamin St. Juste, the Packers are moving on from another one of their defensive backs.
Per Ryan Wood of USA Today, Green Bay is releasing cornerback Nate Hobbs.
Wood notes the Packers are not paying Hobbs his $6.25 million roster bonus, which facilitates his release.
Hobbs, 26, signed a four-year deal with the Packers last offseason. He appeared in 11 games with five starts in 2025, recording 27 total tackles with two passes defensed.
Via Rob Demovsky of ESPN, Hobbs is being processed as a post-June 1 release, which means he’ll save $8.84 million against the cap with a $4 million dead cap charge.
A fifth-round pick in the 2021 draft, Hobbs played his first four seasons with Las Vegas. He’s appeared in 62 career games with 43 starts, recording 21 passes defensed with three interceptions.
Free agent cornerback Benjamin St-Juste is on the move to Green Bay.
St-Juste has agreed to a two-year, $10 million deal with the Packers, according to NFL Network.
The 28-year-old St-Juste was originally a 2021 third-round pick of the Commanders. He played in Washington for four years before signing a one-year contract with the Chargers last year.
St-Juste provided depth in the secondary for the Chargers last year, playing about one-third of snaps on defense while also being one of their top contributors on special teams. The Packers likely see him in a similar role in 2026.
Almost immediately after free agents could agree to contracts with new teams on Monday, quarterback Malik Willis agreed to sign with the Dolphins. Willis said it didn’t take long to decide, because of his relationship with new Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley and G.M. Jon-Eric Sullivan.
Willis spent the last two years in Green Bay, as did Hafley and Sullivan, and he said he completely buys into what they want to build in Miami.
“I’m super excited to be down there,” Willis told Pat McAfee. “Guys I know, Hafley and Sully, I’m real familiar with those guys, and excited to go to work and try to do something special. It’s a blessing.”
Willis said he learned the importance of stability in Green Bay, where he felt he was able to grow into his role as an effective backup quarterback over the last two years.
“It’s my first time being in a system for more than a year since I’ve been in the league,” Willis said. “It was great having that familiarity.”
Willis didn’t directly answer when asked whether he considered any other teams, but he made clear he believes he’s ready to lead the Dolphins.
“All you can do is be genuinely yourself and do what you can to put everything you have on the table,” Willis said.
