LATEST NEWS: Green Bay Packers: Signed a 25-year-old rookie starter.
According to reports, the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers will have another fascinating offseason together. Of course, Rodgers (along with a handful of former Packers players) joined the New York Jets this offseason.
The Jets definitely lost the 2023 season, but they are excited about Rodgers’ potential to play numerous seasons in New York. To accomplish so, they’ll need to field a competitive roster to entice Rodgers to stay. This will allegedly imply pursuing a starter in Green Bay this offseason.
According to Paul Esden Jr. of the New York Jets:
ESPN’s Rich Cimini identified several players to keep an eye on as potential NEW Aaron Rodgers recruits for the Jets in 2024:
#Packers G David Bakhtiari #Raiders WR Davante Adams #Packers OT David Bakhtiari #Packers RB Aaron Jones #Packers RB AJ Dillon #Packers G TE Jon Runyan of the Chicago Bears The Packers selected Robert Tonyan Dillon in the second round of the 2020 draft. Except for some COVID games as a rookie, he hadn’t missed a game in his career due to injury until last week.
Dillon isn’t your classic feature back, but he’s shown to be a capable No. 2 running back. The Packers may be able to locate a new No. 2 for less money in the draft and have that player wait behind Jones on the depth chart until he takes over the lead back role in 2025. Although Dillon has improved recently, he has yet to establish himself as a legitimate No. 1 back, which would earn him a contract extension.
The Packers, on the other hand, may elect to let Jones go, re-sign Dillon to a one-year contract, and draft someone early to sit behind or share carries with him. Dillon and his agency, on the other hand, may seek a multiyear contract, something the Packers may not be able to offer.
If the Jets provide a multi-year contract, Dillon might be on his way out of Green Bay after four years. Rodgers certainly believes in Dillon, which is another important piece of the jigsaw. When the 2024 offseason arrives, Dillon will be one of the more exciting guys to watch.
