16 Seasons, a Super Bowl, and an Unbreakable Bond—Crosby’s Farewell Letter Will Melt Your Heart!

In a touching farewell letter shared Thursday, Mason Crosby, the beloved Green Bay Packers kicker, bid adieu to the franchise he’s called home for 16 unforgettable seasons. After revealing his decision to retire as a Packer, Crosby reflected on a career that made him the team’s all-time leading scorer, solidifying his place in Green Bay history.

Crosby, who was selected by the Packers in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL Draft out of the University of Colorado, spent 16 years in Titletown, becoming a fixture in the Packers’ storied franchise. He played a total of 258 regular-season games and 23 postseason contests, both team records. His remarkable career included a Super Bowl victory and countless unforgettable moments with Green Bay.

In his heartfelt message, Crosby expressed immense gratitude to the Packers organization, fans, and the Green Bay community that has supported him through thick and thin. “I was lucky to be part of a Super Bowl-winning team, see my family grow, and create memories that will always be among my most cherished,” Crosby wrote, reflecting on his journey both on and off the field.

The kicker, who played in more games and kicked more field goals than any player in team history, shared how Green Bay became a second home. Despite moving to another state, Crosby made it clear that his love for Wisconsin and the Packers would never fade. “Retiring as a Packer is my way of saying that even though I may now live in another state, I am still that ambassador,” he said, adding, “But now instead of you cheering me on, it is my turn to champion and celebrate what all is being accomplished in Wisconsin.”

Crosby’s words were full of gratitude for everyone who helped make his career a success. “Thank you to the Packers fans for all the support for 16 seasons. Thank you to the Packers organization for the opportunity to play the game I love. Thank you to all of my teammates over the 16 seasons. We had an incredible run and I am so grateful for the friendships formed that will last a lifetime,” he wrote. His message also expressed deep appreciation for the Packers’ support staff, whose tireless efforts ensured the team’s success both on and off the field.

Though Crosby’s career with the Packers officially ended when he wasn’t re-signed in 2023, he made a brief appearance with the New York Giants that year, playing three games. However, it’s his legacy in Green Bay that will forever be etched in history. His name will be synonymous with the Packers’ success, having helped the team secure a Super Bowl win, nine division titles, and numerous playoff appearances.

“Once a Packer, always a Packer,” Crosby wrote, leaving fans with a reminder of the unbreakable bond that exists between him and the team. His departure may signal the end of an era, but Crosby’s heartfelt message ensures that his love for Green Bay will continue to inspire and uplift the community.

As Crosby steps into retirement, he assures fans that they will continue to see him around, supporting the Wisconsin community and shining a spotlight on the amazing things happening in the area.

“Go Pack Go.”
