Former Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is changing conferences.
The Green Bay Packers are expected to sign Jacobs to a free-agent contract after the new NFL calendar year begins Wednesday, according to multiple reports. Terms of the deal are not yet known, though Jacobs reposted a tweet on X, formerly Twitter, of a highlight video telling Packers fans to get ready for the star running back, seemingly confirming the news.
Jacobs, a first-round draft pick in 2019, spent the first five seasons of his career with the Raiders, rushing for over 1,000 yards three times while making the Pro Bowl twice. He led the league with 1,653 rushing yards in 2022.
