The Green Bay Packers have re-signed free agent running back James Starks.
Starks, 28, will get a two-year deal according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He cancelled a visit to Pittsburgh.
While Starks made a few stops he could not land a bigger role than the one he had last season operating at Eddie Lacy’s backup. He had a 5.5 yard per carry last season on 89 carries for a total of 493 yards and three touchdowns.
Packers now expected to bring back RB James Starks on a two-year deal, per source; deal considered imminent.
