Dillon, who turns 27 in May, missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from a neck injury suffered in August. He was an unrestricted free agent after signing a one-year deal to return to the Packers last offseason.

Dillon departs the Packers after rushing 597 times for 2,428 yards and 16 touchdowns and catching 86 passes for 783 yards and two more scores.

The Packers are set at running back. Josh Jacobs produced a Pro Bowl season, Emanuel Wilson rushed for over 500 yards and Chris Brooks showed flashes as a versatile third option last season. Also, 2024 third-round pick MarShawn Lloyd will return after an injury-riddled rookie season.

In Philadelphia, Dillon will attempt to revive his pro career after a significant injury in 2024 and a down year in 2023.

Dillon’s best season came in 2021 when he averaged 4.3 yards per carry, produced 1,116 yards and seven total touchdowns with a rushing success rate of 61.0 percent as part of a one-two punch with Aaron Jones. In 2023, his final year in Green Bay, Dillon averaged only 3.4 yards per carry and scored two total touchdowns.
