The Green Bay Packers are bringing back Keisean Nixon on a one year contract that reportedly will earn him as much as 6 million dollars in 2023. Nixon joined the Packers last year after spending time with the Las Vegas Raiders under Special Teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia. Used as a cover man and back up in the secondary, Nixon delivered a huge lift to the team when he was finally inserted as the return man for the struggling Amari Rodgers. Nixon provided an immediate spark as the kickoff and punt returner at mid-season and wound up becoming just the third Packer to ever lead the NFL in kickoff return average. He finished at 28.8 yards per return, including a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings, earning him first team All-Pro recognition. Nixon won’t be able to officially sign the deal until the NFL calendar year begins on Wednesday as free agents can begin signing contracts.
