Packers Consider Trade Options for Running Back Amid Jacobs' Legal Issues
The Green Bay Packers are contemplating addressing their running back needs through trades as uncertainty surrounds Josh Jacobs' legal situation. While the team currently feels secure with its depth, the circumstances may prompt a change.
Among the potential trade targets is Tyler Allgeier of the Arizona Cardinals, who has seen his role shift after the team drafted Jeremyiah Love. Allgeier's contract is manageable for the Cardinals, but trading him would require significant compensation. Other candidates include New York Giants' Tyrone Tracy Jr., who could be waived, and James Conner, also from the Cardinals, though his age and injury history raise concerns.
Additionally, Carolina Panthers' Chuba Hubbard could be available if the team opts to move on from him due to their depth at the position. The Packers' pursuit of these players may depend on their decision regarding Jacobs' future.
