Packers agreed to terms with RB AJ Dillon.

The Packers just can’t quit one of the league’s least efficient, least explosive committee backs. Dillon didn’t have the juice for the entirety of his just-completed rookie contract, including in 2023 when he couldn’t better 613 yards rushing even with Aaron Jones spending the majority of the year fighting hamstring issues. Dillon averaged one of the league’s worst “rush yards over expected” averages, checking in at -0.36. Neither a goal-line asset nor a true pass catcher, Dillon isn’t even a great blocker. The coaching staff just really, really likes him. With recent addition Josh Jacobs more of a true every-down back than Jones, Dillon should be more of a true “breather back” than the 1B he’s been the past four years.
