The Green bay packers owners wants to bring …….back
Fewer than one-third of Green Bay fans say they would have let the running back hit free agency this offseason.
Let’s react to the Green Bay Packers’ free agency signings! Generally, fans seem to have positive views of the additions of safety Xavier McKinney and running Josh Jacobs, but one was more well-received than the other. Let’s get into it.
Packers fans overwhelmingly support the team signing safety Xavier McKinney in free agency. Despite signing a four-year, $67 million contract that pays the non-Pro Bowler like a top three safety in the league, fans are ecstatic that the franchise was able to land the top free agent at the position that was relatively vacant going into the offseason.
McKinney’s deal is functionally a two-year, $36.9 million contract with team options for $13.4 million and $16.8 million in 2026 and 2027, respectively. With the Packers currently having nearly $90 million in cap space for the 2025 season, this is pretty close to a no-risk deal, in terms of the squad being able to retain its own talent moving forward, despite the perceived “overpay.”
Ultimately, 96 percent of fans gave the McKinney signing an A or B grade. Only 1 percent gave McKinney’s addition either a D or F grade.
One signing that is a little less popular, but is still viewed positively, is the addition of running back Josh Jacobs. 77 percent of Packers fans gave the deal an A or B grade while 5 percent responded with a D or F grade.
