The Green Bay Packers and Las Vegas Raiders agreed on a trade for Davante Adams two off-seasons ago. That trade immediately had Packers fans loosely keeping an eye on how Adams and the Raiders faired after the trade went down.
Now the 2024 off-season could have Raiders fans keeping an eye on how the Packers fair moving forward.
The Green Bay Packers Could Poach Las Vegas Raiders Key Offensive Weapon
Matt Schneidman of The Athletic highlighted a few players that will likely be on the Packers’ radar. A few stood out, but possibly none more than Raiders Running Back Josh Jacobs:
On this list for the same reason as Barkley, Jacobs led the NFL in rushing yards in 2022 and is a year younger than Barkley, almost to the day.
He missed four games last season and ran for half as many yards and touchdowns as the year before (12 in 2022, six in 2023), but there’s still an enticing skill set with a guy who also caught 90 passes over the past two seasons.
Would The Packers Target Running Back Josh Jacobs?
Jacobs was selected by the Oakland Raiders with the 24th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. He has been extremely productive throughout his career thus far. Following the 2023 season he has a total of 1,305 rushing attempts, 5,545 rushing yards, and 46 touchdowns.
He has one All-Pro, two Pro Bowls, and won the PFWA Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019. He is still just 26-years-old and certainly seems to be in the middle of his prime. Pairing him with Aaron Jones (not replacing Jones) would make for one of the most dynamic rushing attacks in the NFL.
The Packers were one of a few teams to show real interest in trading for 25-year-old Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor last season. It was reported that they were also willing to commit a large contact to Taylor. It wouldn’t be surprising to see them to the same for Jacobs.
