From the article

In 2025 Jacobs also suffered some injuries, and once again fell to -0.03 yards over expected. It's possible that this is just a matter of health, and that after an offseason of rest and recovery he would be back to his old self again. But, running back is a young man's game, Jacobs is expensive for a running back, and Jacobs turned 28 in February.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Jacobs' 2025 efficiency collapsed to negative yards over expected; age and durability concerns loom.

Jacobs' production has declined significantly since his 2024 breakout season with the Packers (0.73 yards over expected per attempt, tied 10th). In 2025, he fell to -0.03 yards over expected, suggesting deterioration beyond just health issues. At 28 years old with a punishing running style and 200+ carries in every season of his career (300 twice), Jacobs is not a great bet to age gracefully. The source notes the Packers' offensive line has declined as a run-blocking unit since 2024, and it's possible seven years of physical punishment has started to wear on Jacobs, making him an expensive running back with declining efficiency.
