According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Green Bay Packers are expected to re-sign running back AJ Dillon, assuming that he passes a physical. This is somewhat of a surprise, as it was reported on Wednesday that the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts were interested in signing the former second-round pick in free agency.
With Aaron Jones out of the picture following his release, Dillon is now expected to back up Josh Jacobs, the Packers’ big free agent signing on the offensive side of the ball this offseason. Beyond these two backs, the only other ball carriers under contract for Green Bay are 2023 undrafted free agent signing Emanuel Wilson and mis-season practice squad pickup Ellis Merriweather.
