Ravens and Chiefs Eye Potential Trade Candidate AJ Dillon
Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs Target AJ Dillon
The Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly interested in trading for Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon during the NFL Training Camp. Dillon, who has played 60 games and rushed for 2,428 yards and 16 touchdowns over the past four seasons, might be placed on the trade block if the Packers feel confident in their current running back depth.
Packers’ Current Running Back Situation
Dillon, who recently signed a one-year contract with the Packers, is currently a backup to Josh Jacobs and competing with MarShawn Lloyd for the No. 2 spot. If Lloyd proves to be a better backup, Dillon could become expendable. With additional running backs like Emanuel Wilson and Jarveon Howard in the mix, the Packers could decide to trade Dillon to a team in need of a quick fix in their running game.
Possible Destinations for Dillon
– Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs are looking for a No. 3 running back behind Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire, making Dillon a potential fit.
– Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens, planning to use Derrick Henry for most snaps, could also benefit from Dillon’s addition.
Other Potential Trade Fits
– New Orleans Saints: With Alvin Kamara potentially seeking a pricey contract and the team looking to build for the future, Dillon could be a valuable addition alongside Jamaal Williams.
– Los Angeles Chargers: The Chargers, dealing with injuries to their running backs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, could use Dillon to bolster their depth.
– Carolina Panthers: The Panthers, testing various talents in their running back rotation, might find Dillon to be a valuable asset alongside Rashaad Penny, Miles Sanders, and Chuba Hubbard.
Dillon’s potential trade could significantly impact the teams mentioned, offering them a strong option in their running game and providing Dillon a chance to establish himself further in the NFL.
