The Green Bay Packers would like to keep free agents Keisean Nixon, Eric Wilson and Tyler Davis, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
All three veterans have expiring contracts and will become unrestricted free agents come the start of the new league year on Wednesday.
Nixon is a two-time first-team All-Pro kickoff returner and was the team’s starter at nickel cornerback in 2023.
Wilson has been a core special teams player for Rich Bisaccia in each of the last two seasons. He played over 500 total special teams snaps across the last 30 games in Green Bay and led the team in special teams tackles between 2022 and 2023.
Davis was a core special teamer in 2022 and looked primed for another big role in 2023 before suffering a season-ending knee injury during the preseason.
All three players returned on the Packers on one-year deals before the 2023 season.
Other unrestricted free agents for the Packers include safety Darnell Savage, safety Rudy Ford, offensive lineman Jon Runyan Jr., running back A.J. Dillon, safety Jonathan Owens, offensive tackle Yosh Nijman, linebacker Kristian Welch, cornerback Corey Ballentine and tight end Josiah Deguara.
The start of the new league year is 3:00 p.m. CT on Wednesday. The legal tampering period — when upcoming unrestricted free agents can begin negotiating with other teams — begins on Monday at noon.
