‘They Could Not Pay Me Anymore’ Packers Key Player Jordan Love Angrily Announce As He Will….
To put it mildly, the Green Bay Packers’ season has exceeded expectations. However, with Jordan Love emerging as the team’s most valuable player, having AJ Dillon on the roster won’t be absolutely necessary in the upcoming campaigns.
Yes, there are some guys who may be cut who made blunders in the previous season. Of course, Anders Carlson’s botched kick that allowed the San Francisco 49ers to eliminate the Green Bay Packers from contention is a prime example.

AJ Dillon, in particular, has regressed this season. Apart from missing the Packers’ final two games due to thumb and neck injuries, the running back saw his numbers dip to 3.4 yards per carry, the lowest of his career.
But even if that’s the case, his relatively young age of 25 makes him an asset for the Packers in the event they want to trade the running back for picks or another player to improve the roster.

One could view Dillon’s value as a useful tool for Green Bay in the forthcoming offseason. NFL analyst Maurice Jones-Drew claims that the running back for the Packers is still useful to another team.
