Report: Dillon to re-sign with Packers

Running back AJ Dillon is expected to re-sign with the Green Bay Packers, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

At least two other teams were interested in Dillon, but the running back elected to return to Green Bay, according to Bleacher Report's Jordan Schultz.

Dillon returns to a backfield that now features two-time Pro Bowler Josh Jacobs, who the Packers inked to a four-year deal to open free agency. Dillon's former running mate Aaron Jones was released and chose to sign with the Minnesota Vikings.

Dillon, 25, posted career lows in rushing efficiency last season and averaged just 3.4 yards per carry. His best year came in 2021 when he totalled 803 rushing yards and 4.3 yards per attempt.

Green Bay's rushing attack ranked 15th in the NFL in 2023.
