The Green Bay Packers have finalized a two-year contract with Canadian cornerback Benjamin St-Juste valued at $10 million, according to NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. As a pending free agent, St-Juste was able to start negotiating with teams on Monday, though the contract cannot be officially signed until the new league year begins on March 11.
Player Background and Recent Performance
Originally from Montreal, Quebec, St-Juste played last season with the Los Angeles Chargers, appearing in 16 games and starting twice. During that period, he recorded 37 tackles, seven pass deflections, and one interception.
Drafted in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders, St-Juste spent four seasons with the team. Across 54 regular-season games, he made 45 starts and amassed 206 total tackles, four tackles for loss, 34 pass knockdowns, four forced fumbles, three sacks, one interception, and one fumble recovery.
Collegiate Career and Development
Standing six-foot-three and weighing 200 pounds, St-Juste finished his college football career at the University of Minnesota in 2020. Over 18 games with the Golden Gophers, he achieved 62 total tackles, two tackles for loss, and 13 pass knockdowns. Before transferring, he played his freshman season at the University of Michigan in 2017 and then sat out the 2018 season due to a hamstring injury.
Contract Value and Career Earnings
Prior to signing the Packers deal, Benjamin St-Juste earned $9.37 million in his NFL career. This new contract represents a significant step forward, securing his place with the Green Bay Packers for the upcoming seasons.
