The Green Bay Packers have finalized a two-year contract with cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, valued at $10 million, according to NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. This agreement brings St-Juste to the Packers after he entered free agency, aiming to reinforce their defensive backfield.
Details of St-Juste’s Contract and Career Background
Rapoport notes that the contract’s total value can reach up to $10.5 million. St-Juste, 28, was initially drafted by the Washington Commanders in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft after playing college football at Minnesota. His previous contract with the Commanders spanned four years and was worth over $5.1 million, including a signing bonus exceeding one million dollars.
Having tested free agency for the first time, St-Juste signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, appearing in 16 games during the 2025 season. He started twice and contributed 37 tackles, one interception, and seven passes defended, showcasing his ability to impact games on defense.
Implications of St-Juste Joining the Packers
Adding St-Juste strengthens Green Bay’s defensive back options as the team looks to improve its secondary. His experience with both the Commanders and Chargers provides valuable depth and versatility. This move reflects the Packers’ ongoing efforts to build a robust defense ahead of upcoming seasons.
