The Green Bay Packers added four new players during the first week of free agency: linebacker Zaire Franklin, cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, receiver/returner Skyy Moore and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave.
Which uniform number will each newcomer be wearing for the Packers in 2026?
LB Zaire Franklin
New number with Packers: No. 44
Franklin wore No. 44 during all eight seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. He’ll keep the number with the Packers. He wore No. 4 while at Syracuse, but that number is retired for Hall of Famer Brett Favre. No player has worn No. 44 in a regular season game for the Packers since Brayden Narveson in 2024.
CB Benjamin St-Juste
New number with Packers: No. 21
St-Juste wore No. 24 with the Los Angeles Chargers, No. 25 with the Washington Commanders and No. 25 at the University of Minnesota. Carrington Valentine wears No. 24; Keisean Nixon wears No. 25. No. 21 is open after Nate Hobbs was released.
WR/KR Skyy Moore
New number with Packers: No. 23
Moore wore No. 9 with the San Francisco 49ers in 2025, No. 24 with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2022 to 2024 and No. 24 at the University of Western Michigan. Christian Watson wears No. 9; Valentine wears No. 24. No. 23 is open after Emanuel Wilson signed with the Seattle Seahawks.
DL Javon Hargrave
New number with Packers: No. 98
Hargrave wore No. 79 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, No. 93 and No. 97 with the Philadelphia Eagles, No. 98 with the 49ers and No. 97 with the Minnesota Vikings. James Ester switched from No. 98 to No. 96 to accommodate Hargrave.
