Update on the Green Bay Packers after Monday’s NFL free agency news
Pete Dougherty joins Dominique Yates for observations from the Packers after adding players in the free agency.
- Last week, former Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon signed a one-year contract with the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
- On Instagram Wednesday, AJ Dillon shared glimpses into his family’s life since signing with the Eagles.
- Days ago, AJ Dillon penned a heartfelt love letter to the Packers, his teammates and fans for his five years in Green Bay.
Of course AJ Dillon’s son can practically throw a spiral before he turns 2.
Sure, he did it with a miniature football. But, also with a turtle plushie pacifier. Impressive.
On Instagram Wednesday, the former Green Bay Packers running back shared glimpses into his family’s life since he signed with the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles last week.
“Excited for this next chapter, to Philly we go! 🛫 #gobirds 🦅,” Dillon captioned the photo dump.
In a video clip, Algiers “Trey” Dillon III threw a mini-football to his dad, right on the money.
Dillon, on his knees, advanced the ball toward his son while Trey rolled out of the way. Dillon, sporting an Eagles crewneck, followed suit in the other direction.
The compilation also included a photo of Dillon, all smiles, presumably signing his one-year contract with Philadelphia. An Eagles helmet to his left and an image of him carrying the ball as a Packer posted on screens that make up the background.
There’s also a photo of Trey in a full Eagles fit, holding up his football, as well as one of Dillon walking with his wife, Gabrielle, a lifestyle blogger and content creator.
Gabrielle shared a similar sentiment to her husband’s on her own Instagram last week.
Atop the league’s Instagram alert of the signing news, Gabrielle wrote on her Story: “Sooo excited for this next chapter,” with three white heart emojis. “Fly eagles fly!!!,” followed by three eagles.
She kept that energy Wednesday, commenting, “Can’t wait!!!” on AJ’s post.
While several Birds fans took to the comments to welcome Dillon, Cheeseheads expressed that they’ll miss him and wished him well.
Days ago, Dillon penned a heartfelt love letter to the Packers, his teammates and fans for his five years in Green Bay.
“Wisconsin became so much more than just the place I played football — it became home. It’s where I grew up, started my family and made memories I’ll cherish forever,” he wrote, in part.
“It was an honor to wear the ‘G’ and represent such a special organization. I’m grateful for the relationships built, the lessons learned and the unwavering support from Packers fans everywhere. You embraced me and my family from day one, and we are forever thankful.”
While Dillon missed all of 2024 with a neck injury, he has been medically cleared to return to football, NFL Network reported.
