Jacobs was already likely to be released by Green Bay going into the 2027 season, as his cap hit jumps to $16.6 million in 2027, while his dead cap is reduced to just $3.1 million — meaning that the Packers would save $13.5 million in cap space by moving on from Jacobs next year.

Jacobs' 2027 release likely even before charges; $13.5M cap savings available.

Josh Jacobs was already likely to be released by Green Bay going into the 2027 season before the criminal charges, as his cap hit jumps to $16.6 million in 2027 while his dead cap is reduced to just $3.1 million—meaning the Packers would save $13.5 million in cap space by moving on from Jacobs next year. This suggests 2026 is expected to be his final season in Green Bay regardless of the current legal situation.
