The Green Bay Packers reportedly added another weapon for their backfield on Monday.

The Packers and star running back Josh Jacobs agreed to a deal, the NFL Network reported. Green Bay will now have a backfield of Jacobs and Aaron Jones for the 2024 season.

The Las Vegas Raiders selected Jacobs with the No. 24 overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft after he had a standout career at Alabama. He quickly became one of the top rushers in the league.

He was second in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting after he ran for 1,150 yards and seven touchdowns in his first season. He didn’t take his foot off the gas pedal in 2020 as he ran for 1,065 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Jacobs put together a career year in 2022 with an NFL-leading 1,653 rushing yards to go along with 12 scores on the ground. He was an All-Pro for the first time and a Pro Bowler for the second time.

Last offseason, the Raiders used the franchise tag on Jacobs as he pursued a lucrative long-term extension from the team. That never came to fruition and he signed his tender before the start of the season.

Jacobs played in 13 games and ran for 805 yards and six touchdowns.
