Cheese Curds, 6/15: 2023 season will determine Packers’ future at running back

In all likelihood, the Green Bay Packers’ offensive backfield will look very different in 2024 than it has for the last four years, specifically at the running back position. The team’s top two backs are both in precarious contractual positions, and there’s a real chance that neither one returns for next season.

On the top line of the depth chart is Aaron Jones, who has been a multifaceted, explosive weapon for the Packers for the last six seasons. Jones’ contributions as a runner are exceptional, as he has averaged more than five yards per carry for his career and in four of his six years, while he consistently makes an impact as a receiving option as well with at least 40 receptions in each of the last four seasons.
