Looking like it's happening. Jacobs and Aaron Jones would be quite a backfield duo, assuming they keep Jones.

Packers expected to sign Josh Jacobs… backup to Jones or hedge if he doesn’t restructure?
HOFer
Sounds like a good tandem. Jones is always on a pitch count, and Jacobs is a guy who is similar to Jones in style.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Jacobs had an off year last year on a terrible Raiders offense, but was fantastic in 2022.

Good-bye and good luck, AJ. Wish you the best with your new team.
EDit: I may have spoken too soon. I just looked up some numbers, and this dude made $11M last year. They're not adding that kind of payroll to back up Jones; I think they're replacing him.

Is it worth upwards of $22M a year for those two?
WR's and TE's on rookie contracts, I'm no capologist, but I think they've got room.
We'll see how those contracts are structured.

Try going back and watching games 2-8 last season and you’ll get your answer.

If the Packers are making this move, they have already talked with Jones. I would expect he is willing to take a pay cut and get a deal that ensures he retires a Packer. The tandem role would actually extend Jones’ career, and provide coverage if either guy gets dinged.
Jones showed the value of a RB to this offense last year. The team can’t afford to not have a capable full service back available at all times.

I hope you're right; this is one I'd sure love to be wrong about. There are other reasons, as well, that would really limit our options for moving Jones this week.
I'm just trying to figure out what the plan is for safety, if we're spending this much coin on another RB.
Jon Runyan signs with Giants for 3 years, 30M, 17M guaranteed. Comp pick!

Savage signs with Jacksonville for 3 years.
So Packers have signed Jacobs and lost Runyan and Savage. Slightly ahead on the comp pick scoreboard.

What in the world... why would you pay premium money for when you could get a guy on a rookie deal that does the same thing? RBs are a dime a dozen IMO. AJO is special, most are not.
HOFer
RBs are not a dime a dozen, especially in the Shanahan offense. The Packers are in win now mode, and putting all your eggs in an unproven rookie behind Jones, who is incredibly fragile, would be a huge risk.

It would appeat that that's exactly the way Gutekunst sees it too. This may tell us a lot about how seriously Gute is taking this off-season.
