The Green Bay Packers officially re-signed running back AJ Dillon on Friday. Dillon was originally selected by the Packers in the second round (62nd overall) in 2020 out of Boston College. He has played in 60 games (11 starts) for the team during the regular season and has compiled 2,428 yards on 597 carries (4.1 yards per carry) with 16 touchdowns while recording 86 receptions for 763 yards (8.9 yards per catch) with two touchdowns. The 25-year-old had a career-low 3.4 yards per carry in 15 regular-season games (six starts) in Green Bay in 2023 and failed to take advantage of Aaron Jones missing some time with injuries. Dillon missed the final three games due to a neck stinger, but he should be fully healthy for the start of the 2024 season this fall, where he'll be back as the No. 2 RB behind newcomer Josh Jacobs.
Free-agent running back AJ Dillon is expected to re-sign with the Green Bay Packers on an undisclosed deal, pending a physical, according to sources. Dillon will return to the organization that selected him with their second-round pick in 2020 out of Boston College. The 25-year-old had more of an opportunity to pick up extra touches in Green Bay's backfield with Aaron Jones missing some time with injury, but he failed to take advantage of it and finished with a career-low 3.4 yards per carry on 178 rushing attempts. Dillon had a disappointing 613 rushing yards and only two touchdowns in 15 regular-season games (six starts). Jones is now in Minnesota, but Dillon will return to the Packers to play second fiddle to Josh Jacobs now.
Free-agent running back AJ Dillon has several options in free agency outside of the Green Bay Packers, with sources saying that he's looking at the New York Giants, Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys. The Giants lost Saquon Barkley to the division-rival Eagles, but they also recently added Devin Singletary to be their lead back. The Colts are looking for a complement to starter Jonathan Taylor after Zack Moss signed with the Bengals. The Cowboys, who lost Tony Pollard to the Titans, would be the best fit for Dillon from a playing-time perspective. the 25-year-old former second-round pick in 2020 out of Boston College had a career-low 3.4 yards per carry in 15 regular-season games for Green Bay last year and hasn't proven that he can handle a lead-back role in his four years in the NFL.
The Green Bay Packers are re-signing cornerback/return specialist Keisean Nixon to a three-year, $18 million deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Nixon has earned first-team All-Pro honors for his work as a kick returner. In 2023, Nixon led the NFL in kick return yards (782) and returns of at least 20 yards (26). He also had the most productive season of his career on defense in 2023, racking up 80 tackles, half a sack, and one interception.
Green Bay Packers veteran left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) announced on his social media that he was released by the team on Monday. Bakhtiari was given a failed-physical designation after he played in just one game in 2023 due to a lingering knee injury. The 32-year-old three-time Pro Bowler was originally a fourth-round pick by the Packers in 2013 out of Colorado and had spent all 11 of his NFL seasons with the team. Since tearing his ACL in 2020, he has played in just 13 games with the Packers, so it was time for Green Bay to move on. It's unclear how healthy Bakhtiari actually is, but if he's ready by this fall and wants to continue his playing career, the favorites to sign him will be the New York Jets. Bakhtiari was teammates with Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay.
