Packers’ Benjamin St-Juste Contract Temporarily Rejected by NFL After Leaving Chargers
Green Bay, WI – March 12, 2026
A minor administrative issue has emerged surrounding the contract of cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, who recently signed with the Green Bay Packers after leaving the Los Angeles Chargers. The Packers' contract with St-Juste, a two-year deal worth $10 million (which could rise to $10.5 million with incentives), has been temporarily rejected by the NFL due to technicalities in the contract documents.
League sources confirmed that the NFL flagged portions of the contract for adjustments in the language and formatting, requiring revisions before it can be officially recorded. The primary concern appears to be related to the alignment of the contract with the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), rather than any dispute over the contract’s value or structure.
Despite the unexpected delay, Packers officials remain confident that the issue will be resolved quickly. Team sources suggest that the problem is simply a matter of clarifying certain language within the contract, with no concern regarding the terms or the financial details.
"It’s just semantics," one league source explained. "Nothing about the deal itself is being challenged. It's about getting the technical language in line with the CBA requirements."
St-Juste, who previously played for the Chargers, brings valuable experience to the Packers’ secondary. Over the past seasons, the 26-year-old cornerback has shown the ability to be a reliable starter and an impact player in coverage. His contract with the Packers is seen as an important move to bolster Green Bay’s defensive backfield, and the team expects him to contribute significantly as they continue to strengthen their defense heading into the 2026 season.
The Packers signed St-Juste to add depth and competition in their cornerback group, a position that has been a focus of improvement in recent years. The contract's official approval is now pending the minor revisions, and both St-Juste and the Packers are hopeful that the paperwork will be finalized soon.
While such administrative hiccups are not uncommon during the early days of free agency, they do not typically affect the substance of the deals. As such, the Packers remain confident that St-Juste’s signing will be confirmed without further issues, adding a key piece to their defense as they look toward the 2026 season.
