“Gods got a new plan for me and the NFL is a business !! Thank you to the Packers organization for taking a chance on me a year ago!,” Jackson wrote.
Jackson was an exclusive rights free agent this offseason and the Packers opted to retain him in April. Weeks later, he has been let go, leaving the Packers with just two running backs on the roster in Ty Montgomery and Christine Michael.
The 23-year-old appeared in three games (one start) for Green Bay last season, and managed 32 rushing yards on ten carries.
