AJ Dillon remains a free agent after several running backs signed with teams in the first two days of the legal tampering period, and the former Green Bay Packer reportedly has his eye on a few potential suitors.

On Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported that Dillon is interested in the New York Giants, Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys. It is unclear if that interest has been reciprocated.

The Packers made two huge moves at running back this week when they signed Josh Jacobs and cut Aaron Jones. They could try to bring Dillon back in the same type of complementary role he played for them over the past several seasons, but they probably do not want to spend much.

Dillon rushed for 613 yards and just two touchdowns last season. He averaged a career-low 3.4 yards per carry. Teams likely view him as a timeshare back, but if his asking price is reasonable, there still should be a decent market for the 25-year-old.
