Josh Jacobs, a 2x Pro Bowl running back, has agreed to sign with the Green Bay Packers, marking a significant shift in the NFL landscape. This move was unexpected by many, with Jacobs leaving the Las Vegas Raiders where he has been a key player. During his tenure with the Raiders, Jacobs amassed 5,545 rushing yards, ranking him third in franchise history, and scored 46 touchdowns. His departure is seen as a major gain for the Packers, who are looking to strengthen their backfield alongside Aaron Jones, with AJ Dillon reportedly out. The Raiders are expected to move forward with Zamir White as their RB1. The Packers' decision to sign Jacobs reflects their strategic approach to bolstering their team, aiming to become stronger contenders in the NFC. Analysts are keen to see how this acquisition will impact the Packers' offensive dynamics and how the Raiders will adjust their strategy moving forward.
The #Packers pull a SHOCKER with reported signing ex #Raiders RB Josh Jacobs. My early story at @ForbesSports with updates to follow. https://t.co/uochaa44bd
He will be everything AJ Dillon wasn’t. With so many WR/TE on rookie deals, GB can splurge on backfield https://t.co/2Nmc4Qngf6

Is Jacobs a supplement to Aaron Jones? Or a replacement? Jones has nearly $12 million due in the final year of his deal - I'd be surprised if the Packers brought him back at that figure, especially now with Jacobs in the fold https://t.co/TsSAsTxhyN

Love Aaron Jones but makes zero sense to keep him. He’s a 29-year-old RB with major durability issues. Time to move on. https://t.co/p8QTkHAYNb
.@zeus1_34 is now RB1 for the @Raiders: #RaiderNation https://t.co/x3P6tzap2v
Josh Jacobs to the Packers. Packers offense: Better Jacobs' fantasy stock: Worse Aaron Jones' fantasy stock: Way worse Probably looking at fringe RB2 for Jacobs and PPR flex for Jones

Get ready Green Bay, @iAM_JoshJacobs is coming 🧀 https://t.co/1X2V3Ltyx3
It'll be interesting to see what the Packers do with Aaron Jones. Newly-signed Josh Jacobs is a workhorse, so paying big money to Jones for 10 or 12 carries a week seems unwise.
What grade do you give the Packers signing of Josh Jacobs? 🤔

Zero RB is dead. Long live Negative RB. https://t.co/tBYegBgdch
I said just last week RB was arguably the #Packers No. 1 need. Signing a high-profile RB like Josh Jacobs shows the organization understood the assignment.
Are we really surprised Jacobs left? The last month of the season should have prepared everyone for this. #Raiders
Josh Jacobs' #Raiders tenure ends with him 3rd in franchise history in yards rushing (5,545) and in TD runs (46), 2nd in 100-yard games (17) and tied for first in 1,000-yard seasons (3) https://t.co/vmdSFBdYnm
The #Packers going from a one two punch of Aaron Jones & AJ Dillon to Josh Jacobs & Aaron Jones is a ridiculous upgrade. Just insane. 🤯
My guess: Aaron Jones and Josh Jacobs will make about the same amount. Maybe $7-8 million. #Packers
