Former Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby has announced his retirement from the NFL after 17 seasons. The 40-year-old made the announcement on Tuesday on his radio show, “The Mason Crosby Show” on Milwaukee’s 105.7.

The Fan.Crosby, who was drafted by the Packers in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft, spent 16 seasons with the team. He is the franchise’s all-time leading scorer, with 1,918 points. That’s 864 more points than the second-place record holder, Ryan Longwell. Crosby also set a franchise record by playing in 258 games with the Packers, surpassing Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre, who played 255 games for Green Bay.

“I am incredibly thankful and appreciative for the chance I had to join Green Bay in 2007…and to be part of this legacy and tradition, the history of the Green Bay Packers,” Crosby said. “It’s all about the fans, the community, and my teammates”.

Throughout his career, Crosby made 81.3% of his field-goal attempts (400 out of 492) and 97.2% of his extra points (739 of 760). He won a Super Bowl with the Packers during the 2010 season.

The Packers opted not to re-sign Crosby in 2023 and instead drafted Anders Carlson. Crosby played three games for the New York Giants in 2023, making five of his seven field-goal attempts.

“My 17 seasons in the NFL surpassed all of my childhood hopes and dreams,” Crosby sai. “I couldn’t be more grateful that 16 of those years were spent with the Packers”.
