Xavier McKinney and Josh Jacobs join Packers looking to contend for a Super Bowl
Associated PressGREEN BAY, Wis. — The last time the Green Bay Packers were players in high-stakes NFL free agency was 2019. In free agency this week, Gutekunst made safety Xavier McKinney and running back Josh Jacobs among the four highest-paid players at their positions. “Ultimately, it came down to what I seen and what I believed in with this team, the history of this organization, and feeling like I’m wanted by an organization,” he said. I think that’s the thing that kind of excited me the most.” The young quarterback is Jordan Love, who in Year 1 as the replacement for four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers topped 4,100 passing yards and finished second with 32 touchdown passes. “Obviously, it’s a competitive league and you need an elite quarterback to be able to even have a chance,” said McKinney, who had nine interceptions in four seasons with the New York Giants.
