Packers Sign 4 Key Players, Assign Uniform Numbers

With the NFL today, March 17th, the Green Bay Packers made a strong start to free agency

by signing four key players in the first week, linebacker Zaire Franklin, cornerback

Benjamin, St. Juiced, wide receiver and returner Skyy Moore, and defensive tackle Javon

Hargrave.

Each newcomer picked a uniform number for the 2026 season, sticking close to their past

choices were possible.

Zaire Franklin keeps his familiar number, 44, from 8 years with the Indianapolis Colts.

That number had not been worn in a Packer's regular season game since 2024.

Meanwhile, Benjamin, St. Juiced, lands number 21, which opened up after cornerback

Nate Hobbs was released.

Skyy Moore grabs number 23, free after running back Emmanuel Wilson signed with the Seattle

Seahawks.

He had worn numbers like 24 before, but that is taken.

On defense, Javon Hargrave returns to number 98.

His number from time with the San Francisco 49ers, thanks to teammate James Esther, switching

to 96.

These assignments helped the Packers settle their new talent quickly.

Hargrave brings experience from stops with Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Minnesota, while

the others feel speed and coverage needs.

Now several numbers sit open from other free agency moves, including number 2 from Malik

Willis, number 7 from Queer Walker, and others up to number 87.

The team could see more changes soon as roster building continues.
