Shocking Twist: Packers Faithful Face Nightmare Scenario, Star Player Joins Cowboys
The Green Bay Packers are looking like one of the best offenses in the National Football League. However, one of their beloved stars could end up leaving in free agency.
AJ Dillon has not played this season due to a neck injury. The Packers brought him back on a one-year, $2.7 million deal last offseason. With the emergence of Emmanuel Wilson behind Josh Jacobs and the selection of MarShawn Lloyd in the draft, Dillon could walk in free agency. FanSided’s Rucker Haringey urged the Dallas Cowboys to sign Dillon to fix their running back room.
“Assuming he’s healthy, Dillon checks a lot of boxes for a Cowboys offense that wants to be more physical at the line of scrimmage. He’s a classic bruising back who can punish opposing front sevens with his intense style of running,” wrote Haringey. “Green Bay really leveraged his size to punish defenses who tried to load the box to stymy their ground game.”
He has 2,428 career rushing yards, 763 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns despite starting just 11 games in his career. The Packers have gotten a lot out of Dillon on the field and in their locker room. He recently said on Up & Adams he would love to be back in a Packers uniform, but the cards may not fall that way.
“If that’s the way the cards play out that’d be fantastic,” Dillon told Kay Adams when asked if he would be back with the Packers.
