whatdrought Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) That’s a good deal. He’s one of few running backs worth paying cause he is so diverse in his skill set. That being said- two things: 1- that draft last year has led to two top 65 picks backing up highly paid starters. Not sure that’s how a team trying to maximize a HOF’s last SB window should play things. 2- not sure why you don’t just franchise tag him? 8 million or so this year, do it again next year and you get closer to the 12 million they’re paying him anyways... if the franchise tag doesn’t work for RB’s, it doesn’t work for anyone. - I suppose he could have made it clear he wouldn’t play on the tag, but I haven’t heard anything about that. 1 minute ago, YoloinOhio said: Lol. Meaning the pre-legal tampering tampering came up with a bum market. Gonna be interesting to see how this FA period shakes out.

BuffaloRebound Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Well, for those who want Etienne or Harris at pick 30, nobody’s taking a RB from picks 26 through 29. And I doubt 2 go before pick 25 but you never know. Edited March 14, 2021 by BuffaloRebound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBills1998 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 For a second It looked like he was going to Miami. Maybe Miami saw what the packers were going to pay him and said no thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I heard Miami was linked to Jones as having some interest. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.sportsnet.ca/nfl/report-packers-aaron-jones-reach-agreement-four-year-deal/sn-amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob not but wouldn't be shocked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a LOT of moolah to pay for a RB. He was a 5th round pick a few years ago. I’d hope we would just go find another one and spend the money on the lines, QB, pass rush and WR. BUT, that’s why I’m here on my couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you are saying... but maybe they just want to pay him because he deserves it... even if the “rules “ allow them to try to pay him less...

MAJBobby Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Good now I can’t stop reading about people wanting to overpay a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Crazy they have now invested almost 1/3 of their cap to Rodgers adams and Jones. And invested first and second round draft picks as backups. Weird team building strategy to me. Thought for sure Dillon would take over. Run Dillon and sign williams back at a fraction of the cost and maybe you could afford some better defensive players. Still gonna be a great offense but I wouldn’t expect them to build in such a way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s saying that they never even get offers...because aaron had decided he wants to stay in Gb and sign before he could receive offers tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there are easy outs in this Deal for the packers; if so, Jones may never see the end of this contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Maybe they'll take a 7th round pick for AJ Dillon? What an unbelievably stupid franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 when are the Packers going to get Rodgers some REAL WEAPONS??!! This re-signing of Jones makes the Love pick even more insane!!...or something something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
