Former Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby is retiring as a member of the team, general manager Brian Gutekunst announced Wednesday.
The Packers selected Crosby in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft, and he stayed with the team through the 2022 season. In that time, he became the Green Bay franchise leader in career points (1,918), field goals (395), 50-yard field goals (43) and extra points (733).
Crosby, 40, became a free agent following the 2022 season and played in three games with the New York Giants in 2023. He currently hosts The Mason Crosby Show on 105.7 The Fan radio in Milwaukee.
He played in 258 regular-season games and 23 in the postseason for Green Bay. He also is the franchise leader for games played and consecutive games played and also appeared in the postseason 12 times with the Packers, winning Super Bowl XLV with the team in 2011.
His name also is among the who’s who in the history of kickers. He and former Detroit Lions kicker Jason Hanson are the only players to appear in at least 250 regular-season games and score at least 1,900 points with one team. He also scored 100-plus points in 15 seasons, trailing only Adam Viniatieri (21 seasons) and Jason Elam (16) in that category.
