After 17 seasons, Crosby is walking away from the game.
The 40-year-old kicker announced his retirement on The Mason Crosby Show on Milwaukee’s 105.7 The Fan.
“Today, I make my official announcement to retire from the NFL,” Crosby said on his radio show. Crosby expressed his “attitude of gratitude,” especially toward the team that drafted him in 2007, the Green Bay Packers.
“I’m just so, so thankful, so grateful for the opportunity to come to Green Bay in 2007, drafted in the sixth round out of the University of Colorado, to become a Packer and to be a part of this fraternity and legacy, the history of the Green Bay Packers,” Crosby said. “It’s about the fans. It’s about the people. It’s about my teammates.
“For me, I was always a ‘we’ guy. We’re doing this. We’re dominating and winning the NFC North nine times while I was a Green Bay Packer for 16 years, making the playoffs, winning the Super Bowl as a team. For me, everything I and everything I think about is about the team.”
The Packers selected Crosby in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft. Crosby spent the next 16 seasons of his career as a Packer, winning a Super Bowl with the organization for the 2010 season.
Crosby signed with the Los Angeles Rams practice squad in December 2023. After his release one week later, Crosby ed the New York Giants for the final three games of the season, hitting five of 7 field goals.
Crosby did play during the 2024 season.
Crosby ends his career with 400 made field goals (81.3%) out of 492 attempts. Crosby was 739 of 760 (97.2%) on extra point attempts.
