Longtime Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby announced his retirement Tuesday after 17 NFL seasons.
Crosby, 40, became the leading scorer in Packers history from 2007-22 before finishing his career with the New York Giants in 2023.
He announced his decision during his radio show on Milwaukee’s 105.7 The Fan on Tuesday.
“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 remember and everything I think about is about the team.”
Crosby finishes his career with exactly 400 made field goals and ranks 11th in NFL history with 1,939 career points.
He converted his only field-goal attempt (23 yards) and all four PATs in Green Bay’s 31-25 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV on Feb. 6, 2011 in Arlington, Texas.
Crosby made 81.3 percent of his field-goal attempts (400 of 492) and 97.2 percent of his extra points (739 of 760) in 261 career games, including a franchise-record 258 games with the Packers.
