Giants, Texans, Broncos, and Cardinals were turned down by a star free agent to join the Green Bay Packers.

The Green Bay Packers are building something very remarkable here. Throughout the last few off-seasons, they have been developing a youthful club, and several teams in the league have taken notice. Over the past few years, the Packers have let go of some long-time veterans in favor of the younger group.

This off-season, there was a significant addition to that next generation, and he turned down more money to make it happen.

Regarding his choice to sign with the Green Bay Packers, Jacobs stated he declined more lucrative offers from other suitors (via Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette). Roughly a dozen teams expressed varying degrees of interest in the run-up to free agency, he continued. Still, Jacobs’ choice was made easier by joining a rival team.
