Mason Crosby has spent his entire NFL career with the Green Bay Packers. However, the veteran kicker is set to be a free agent this offseason, which could ultimately end his 13-year tenure with the only franchise he has ever known.

With the offseason rapidly approaching, Crosby is hoping he can stay with the Packers:

“I’m hopeful,” said Crosby, via Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated. “It’s hard when the season ends and all these things start becoming real.”

Green Bay fell to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. Crosby did not attempt a field goal in the loss.

This season, Crosby made 22 of his 24 field-goal attempts, with his season-long coming from 54 yards out. He also converted 40 of his 41 extra-point tries.

The 35-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Colorado, was originally selected by the Packers in the sixth round (193rd pick overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft.

He has been Green Bay's kicker ever since.

As a matter of fact, Crosby has never missed a game since entering the league, and while he has never made a Pro Bowl, he has remained one of the NFL's most consistent kickers, connecting on 81 percent of his field-goal attempts. He has also gone 588-for-600 on extra points.

The Packers won 13 games and captured the NFC North division title this season, locking up a first-round bye in the process. They then went on to defeat the Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round of the playoffs before falling to the 49ers.
