Summary
- Benjamin St. Juste signed a two-year deal worth $10.5 million.

- The Packers aim to improve pass defense with St. Juste's addition.
The Green Bay Packers made a significant move early in the NFL's legal tampering period, securing cornerback Benjamin St. Juste on a two-year deal valued at $10.5 million. This acquisition addresses a perceived weakness in the Packers' secondary heading into the 2026 season.
St. Juste, who is 28 years old, brings a notable physical presence to the cornerback position at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds. He previously played for the Los Angeles Chargers, and before that, spent four seasons with Washington. During his time in Washington, he recorded 206 tackles and one interception.
In his most recent season with the Chargers, St. Juste appeared in 16 games, accumulating 37 tackles and an interception. His solid tackling ability, combined with his size and length, is expected to help the Packers improve their pass coverage, particularly against the high-caliber wide receivers in the NFC North.
