The Green Bay Packers have agreed to terms on their first signing of 2026 NFL free agency, bringing in a veteran cornerback to bolster next season’s defense.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Packers have agreed to terms on a two-year, $10 million contract with former Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Benjamin St-Juste with upside on his deal that could push the maximum value to $10.5 million.

“The #Packers are now adding on defense, agreeing to terms with former #Chargers FA CB Benjamin St-Juste, per me and @MikeGarafolo,” Rapoport wrote on X on March 10. “It’s a 2-year, $10M deal with some upside to $10.5M done by Kelton Crenshaw and Chris Coy of @KlutchSports.”

St-Juste made two starts and played in 16 games for the Chargers in 2025, finishing with seven pass deflections and an interception on just 356 total defensive snaps. In the four seasons prior, he also made 45 starts for the Washington Commanders, who took him at No. 74 overall in the 2021 draft and played him on the perimeter and in the slot.

The Packers cannot announce the deal with St-Juste — or any other free agents or trade acquisitions that they might sign during the NFL’s two-day legal-tampering period — until the start of the new league year at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 11.
