Former Las Vegas Raiders running back is headed north from the desert to the frozen tundra. Jacobs and the Green Bay Packers have reportedly agreed to terms.

Former Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard will have a new address after agreeing to a three-year, $24 million deal with the Tennessee Titans.

D’Andre Swift reportedly will be the first free agent running back to sign with a new team.

After an impressive end to the regular season with the Cleveland Browns after taking over for an injured Deshaun Watson, former Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will hit free agency at the age of 39.
Flacco said he would like an opportunity to start. But the Browns are at the top of his list of desired destinations. If Cleveland decides to bring Flacco back, it’s going to create some tension on the team and in the quarterback room.
Flacco looked better in a handful of games last season than Watson has looked since arriving in Cleveland via trade from the Houston Texans.
“This is the year that Deshaun Watson — if he is ever going to justify that deal — this is the year,” Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk said on Thursday, March 7. “It helps to have somebody who can play like Joe Flacco did. Does it help Deshaun Watson, though, to have Joe Flacco around, especially if he struggles at any point in the season?
