Unfortunately, they limped into the playoffs after suffering multiple key injuries in the second half of the season.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_1\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Losing Micah Parsons to a torn ACL against the Denver Broncos was a gut punch for the Packers. However, they had the Chicago Bears down 21-3 at halftime of their Wild Card matchup before choking the lead away and being eliminated.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_2\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_2_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">So far this offseason, Brian Gutekunst and the front office have been relatively quiet. They have signed Javon Hargrave and Skyy Moore in free agency, while acquiring linebacker Zaire Franklin from the Indianapolis Colts in a trade.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_3\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_3_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-2255777963.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=780\" \/><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"auto\">While those three additions are quality moves, Green Bay has lost a lot of talent in free agency and trades. Among the notable departures are quarterback Malik Willis, pass rusher Rashan Gary, offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins, wide receiver Romeo Doubs, cornerback Nate Hobbs, defensive end Kingsley Enagbare, linebacker Quay Walker, running back Emanuel Wilson, and offensive tackle Rasheed Walker.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_4\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_4_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">At this point in the offseason, there are still plenty of holes for the Packers to plug.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">One of the lesser talked about needs for Green Bay right now comes at the running back position. After letting Wilson go in free agency and re-signing Chris Brooks, the Packers could use an upgrade for the primary backup behind Josh Jacobs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_5\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_5_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Keeping that in mind, Green Bay has been urged to consider targeting a free agent option from the San Francisco 49ers. Bill Huber of On SI, a longtime reporter covering the Packers, has suggested running back Brian Robinson as a potential cheap option for Gutekunst to think about.<\/p>\n<div id=\"js_adsconex_parallax_1\" class=\"\" data-type=\"parallax\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_ad-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_ad\" align=\"center\">\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_inpage_1\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/inpage_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Robinson would be a clear-cut upgrade over Brooks. He also wouldn\u2019t cost much to sign on a one or two-year deal. Add in the fact that he has a proven track record of being able to handle an NFL workload and the idea gets even more intriguing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_6\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_6_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Last season with the 49ers, the 26-year-old running back carried the football 92 times for 400 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games. Over his entire four-year career with the first three being played for the Washington Commanders, Robinson has totaled 2,729 yards and 17 touchdowns on 662 carries.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_7\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_7_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">In this scenario, the Packers would be targeting a perfect backup option. Jacobs would still be the workhorse with Robinson being brought in to keep him fresh and healthy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">There are other potential options that Green Bay could consider. Gutekunst might opt to target one in the mid-to-late rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. However, if the Packers would prefer to sign a proven veteran to back up Jacobs, Robinson would be a perfect fit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_8\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23156761210\/cafex\/banner_responsive_8_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Signing the 49ers free agent would represent a calculated, low-risk move that addresses a quiet but important need without breaking the bank. In an offseason defined by significant outgoing talent, adding a reliable veteran like Robinson could help the Packers regain the momentum they showed early last year and position them once again as legitimate contenders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Green Bay Packers and head coach Matt LaFleur looked the part of a Super Bowl contender for much of last season.
