Packers sign two, lose one on first day of free agency tampering

None of the moves are official yet, but the Green Bay Packers had a relatively quiet day on the signing front when it came to Day 1 of the legal tampering period for NFL Free Agency.

 

After getting shut out during the morning, the Packers made their first splash with G Aaron Banks. The former 49ers offensive lineman started 43 games over the last three seasons and was considered to be one of the top guards available. The NFL Network reports that he signed a four-year, $77 million contract. The Packers went on to sign CB Nate Hobbs from the Las Vegas Raiders. Sports Illustrated's Bill Huber suggests he will fill the slot corner position to replace Keisean Nixon, who is slated to replace Jaire Alexander on the outside. 

 

Sources also reported that DT T.J. Slaton will not return to the Packers, instead signing a new deal with the Cincinnati Bengals.
