Former Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby has announced his retirement after a long and successful career with the team. The announcement was made by Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst on Wednesday. Crosby played for Green Bay for 16 seasons from 2007 to 2022, having been drafted in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft out of the University of Colorado.
Crosby leaves a significant legacy at the Packers, having participated in 258 regular-season games and 23 postseason contests, both records for the team. His tenure helped the Packers secure one Super Bowl victory, nine division titles, six NFC Championship appearances, and twelve playoff berths. In terms of personal achievements, Crosby holds franchise records in several categories: career points (1,918), field goals (395), 50-yard field goals (43), and extra points (733).
Crosby consistently scored over 100 points in fifteen out of his sixteen seasons with the Packers, ranking him third in league history behind Adam Vinatieri and Jason Elam. He is known for kicking eight of the longest field goals in franchise history and holds a second-place ranking among kickers with over fifty attempts for his field-goal percentage of 81.44%. In 2020, he set a single-season record by making all sixteen attempted field goals.
In addition to his time with the Packers, Crosby briefly played three games for the New York Giants in 2023 before deciding to retire with Green Bay.
