Green Bay Packers released Josh Jacobs on Wednesday on Radio ROW in Nowy Orleans. During various performances, Pro Bowler explained one thing: Packers need aid to become one of the massive NFL teams in 2025.
And he was rather specific about where he thinks Packers must add.
Sit with Chris Simms and Mike Florio from NBC Sports, Jacobs pointed to three positions in which he believes that Packers could operate aid.
“We probably lack 2-3 pieces. When we understand this, we’ll be fine. I think we need a different defense end. I think we need another defense. And I think we need a wide receiver – a real (No. 1) wide receiver. I love the guys we have in the receiving room, everyone has the potential to be number 1, but we need a guy who turned out to be number 1. “
It is challenging to disagree with Jacobs’ assessment. Hanging a passerby from the edge was a problem for most of the season, so it is likely to add the defensive end. In the case of the future uncertain Jairea Alexander, and Eric Stokes entering the free agency, Cornerback is a need. And a wide receiver is suddenly a question mark after Christian Watson suffered a significant injury and none of the second -year recipients survived a gigantic jump in 2024.
Jacobs said that Packers fought for “details” and did not make “4-5 pieces”, which often decide about gigantic games.
Among other things, in an interview Jacobs said that the 2024 season was one of the “healthiest” for him at NFL. He played in every match for the second time in his professional career and he still feels great, despite the service of over 350 touches.
“It’s my healthiest body,” said Jacobs. “I feel as good as possible.”
The last part of the interview concerned Jordan Love.
“Everyone loves him. He is a guy. I will not make a mistake, ‘said Jacobs. “We have the highest confidence, respect and love. He is one of those guys who will do everything well, will lead the team in the right way, motivate people in the right way and devote extra time. He lives what he says. This is just one of those guys you love to go and play there. He will be good. Take pieces around him, make him feel a little more comfortable. Of course, he dealt with an injury early, which remained all year round. When it is comfortable, it will be good. “
