Josh Jacobs Signs with Packers after Free Agency

News summary

Josh Jacobs has signed a four-year, $48 million contract with the Green Bay Packers after becoming an unrestricted free agent, rejecting interest from several teams including the Kansas City Chiefs due to his rivalry with the Raiders. He expressed that he could never envision himself in Chiefs colors, emphasizing his desire to beat dominant teams rather than join them. With the Packers losing both A.J. Dillon and Aaron Jones to injuries, Jacobs is expected to carry the burden of the backfield. Jacobs previously led the league in rushing yards in 2022 but had a reduced performance in 2023. The Packers' offer included $12.5 million guaranteed, and while Jacobs was open to staying with the Raiders for less, they declined to match Green Bay's proposal. Jacobs' decision is seen as a pivotal moment for both him and the Packers as they seek to revitalize their rushing attack.
