Raiders running back agrees to join packers on a four years $89 million deal

While Jacobs might not be a guy LaFleur would line up in the slot or outside as a receiver like he did at times with Jones, the Packers believe his versatility as a rusher and receiver makes him dynamic. In terms of play style, the Packers see him as similar to Eddie Lacy in his prime — a powerful back who defenders don’t want to tackle in the open field.

The Packers will have to add at least one more running back via free agency or the draft, but it won’t have to be expensive or come in an early round. AJ Dillon, who backed up Jones the past four years, is a free agent and likely will land elsewhere. They still have Emanuel Wilson, who got a qualifying tender offer as an exclusive rights free agent Monday.
