The Green Bay Packers officially announced the signings of running back Josh Jacobs and safety Xavier McKinney on Thursday, the second day of the new league year. Both signings were initially reported during the legal tampering period on Monday.
Jacobs and McKinney are scheduled to meet with reporters from Lambeau Field on Friday morning.
Jacobs signed a four-year, $48 million deal that includes a $12.5 million signing bonus. He’s going to be the new starting running back in the post-Aaron Jones era in Green Bay. McKinney signed a four-year, $68 million deal that includes a $23 million signing bonus. He’s going to provide new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley with the perfect post safety.
