From NFL coverage, this is your March 5th update. The Green Bay Packers have resigned running back Chris Brooks to a 2-year deal worth $4,850,000. This move happened on Wednesday and comes at a bargain price for the team. Brooks brings real value to their offense beyond the numbers on the stat sheet. In the 2025 season, Brooks rushed for 106 yards on 27 carries and caught 13 passes for 91 yards. This stands out most is his elite pass blocking, which gives quarterback Jordan Love extra time in the pocket during key moments. Love had his best year yet in 2025, completing 66.3% of his passes for 3,381 yards, 23 touchdowns, and just six picks. He's shown when protected well, especially against the blitz, highlighting Brooks' unseen impact on the passing game. Josh Jacobs remains the lead back heading into 2026 after rushing for 929 yards and 13 scores

last season, plus 36 catches for 282 yards, and another touchdown. Emmanuel Wilson filled the number 2 row with 496 rushing yards and 3 scores, but he's a free agent now and not likely coming. Back. Intered third round pick, Marshawn Lloyd has only played one game over two seasons, so the Packers figure to add another running back through free agency or the draft to round out the group. With Brooks and Jacobs locked in, the backfield looks stable, but could use one more piece. D&N is sponsored by our partner.
