The Green Bay Packers have agreed to a one-year deal with wide receiver/kick returner Skyy Moore, a source confirmed to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky on Tuesday.
The Packers needed a return specialist after ranking last in the NFL in punt return average (5.6 yards) and tied for 22nd in kickoff return average (25.2) this past season. Romeo Doubs, who agreed on Tuesday to a deal with the New England Patriots, and Matthew Golden served as the Packers’ primary punt returners in 2025, while Savion Williams, Bo Melton and Emanuel Wilson handled the kickoff returns.
In need of a primary kick and punt returner, the San Francisco 49ers traded for Moore last August in a deal involving late-round pick swaps with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Once Moore got acclimated in San Francisco, he was among the most productive returners in the league, especially on kickoffs. The 25-year-old finished sixth in the NFL at 27.5 yards per kick return and had a pair nearly go for touchdowns.
On punt returns, Moore finished seventh in the league with an average of 11.6 yards per attempt.
Moore’s role in the offense was limited as he was occasionally used on trick plays and had just five catches for 87 yards.
Before joining the Niners, Moore entered the league as a second-round pick (No. 54) in the 2022 NFL draft. He spent three seasons in Kansas City, where he had 43 receptions for 494 yards and a touchdown.
NFL reporter Jordan Schultz first reported news on Moore’s agreement with the Packers.
