CB Nate Hobbs, Raiders (26): A fifth-round pick in 2021, Hobbs has three interceptions and 19 passes defensed in four seasons. In 11 games (seven starts) in 2024, he intercepted one pass with five passes defensed. According to PFF, he ranked 74th in completion percentage, 78th in snaps per completion and 64th in passer rating (96.3). He played mostly in the slot but also corner and in the box. Remarkably, he was not penalized.

Gute at it again!
Say a real goodbye to Jaire.
I wish him well, maybe a change is what he needs

Per someone working for PackersNews...Packers plan for incoming free-agent cornerback Nate Hobbs is to move him from slot to perimeter

My guess is the Packers still plan on upgrading the DL so they can get pressure with only 4 and drop the rest into coverage.

I am trying to be positive,

CB Nate Hobbs is a typical Gute pick. He's decent and has potential to improve. He's 25 so while he's not a kid he is still fairly young.

They beat out other teams (Pittsburgh for sure. SF was interested last year.) for the player

The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost out on one of their top cornerback targets on the first day of free agency.

Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Green Bay Packers have swooped in and signed Nate Hobbs, formerly of the Las Vegas Raiders, to a four-year deal worth $48 million ($16 million guaranteed).

A fifth-round pick out of Illinois in the 2021 NFL Draft, Hobbs started 38 games over his four seasons with the Raiders and logged a total of 281 tackles to go with 19 passes defended, three forced fumbles and three interceptions.

New Steelers defensive backs coach Gerald Alexander led the Raiders' safety group during the 2024 campaign, thus acquainting him with Hobbs.

While Alexander didn't technically coach Hobbs, who held down the slot corner role in Vegas, the expectation was that their connection could lead Pittsburgh to make a strong push for the 25-year-old.

The only slot corner included on PFR’s Top 50 Free Agents list, Hobbs has drawn trade interest in the past. The 49ers were among the teams to pursue him, but no deal came to pass, keeping Hobbs in Las Vegas.

His contract average will be $12 mil per year which makes him tied for 20th with more signings to follow. A front loaded $16 mil bonus and I presume to be a small first year salary is also in the Gute playbook. Year 4 will probably be $20-25 million making him expendable.

That Hobbs played for Illinois is just a bonus.

Oh- CB was a weakness last year so adding a FA and then getting someone in the draft will certainly help.

buckeyepackfan (5h) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

Martha Careful (6h) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster
