Josh Jacobs

Elgton Jenkins, Nate Hobbs and Aaron Banks also have contracts that put Green Bay's salary cap in a bind.

Josh Jacobs has been fun to watch in the Packers backfield, but has his time run its course?

Tobin Rote is the statistical through-line for the 2025 Packers

Jacobs rushed 19 times for 55 yards and brought in one of three targets for one yard in the Packers' 31-27 wild-card loss to the Bears on Saturday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Green Bay.

Jacobs also returned two kicks in this game despite never returning a kick in an NFL game before, and his first attempt saw him fumble with the ball fortunately landing in the hands of a Packers' special-teamer. The tailback found very little room in the run game, and the word "plod" would be an accurate descriptor for much of the contest. While he did rush for 13 touchdowns in 2025, he also was held to a 4.0 average on his 234 carries (929 yards). The 27-year-old should be back with Green Bay in 2025, and he'll open the year as a low-end RB1 thanks to his knack for finding the end zone.
