Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers may think re-signing wide receiver James Jones should be the team’s top priority, but the Packers prioritized their kicker first.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that kicker Mason Crosby has agreed to terms with the Packers on a five-year deal.

Crosby was a sixth-round draft pick of the Packers in 2007, and he’s been their kicker ever since. He hasn’t shown off a particularly strong leg on kickoffs (just four touchbacks last season), but he had a solid 2010 on field goals, making 22 of 28 including a career-long 56-yarder.
