If the Raiders wanted Keisean Nixon back this season, all the needed do was place a tender on the restricted free agent. For whatever reason they chose not to do that, just as they did with fullback Alex Ingold, and both Nixon and Ingold became unrestricted free agents.
Ingold quickly signed on with the Dolphins, while Josh McDaniels opted to sign his fullback from New England, Jakob Johnson instead.
Nixon was still out there unsigned for a couple weeks and today he too found a new home — Green Bay. The Packers officially added the 5-10, 200-pounder Saturday.
The former South Carolina cornerback broke onto the Raiders roster as an undrafted rookie in 2019. He spent three seasons with the Raiders appearing in 40 games with two starts.
Nixon spent most of his playing time on special teams, but would also step in at cornerback on occasion, playing defensive snaps in 16 games in his career, thrice playing more than 50% of the snaps.
