I don't know why...but then again, I don't know why teams insist on paying running backs either. I mean, I get it for some of the guys...and this deal will be highly strucutre dependent on whether or not it's worth it, but I'm happy they get paid.

I mean he looked really good last season and Williams is gone. Jones/Dillon may be the best combo in the league next year. They also ran a fair number of plays with 2 backs on the field towards the end of the season. @Trentwannabe saying Dillon can’t catch passes shows he didn’t watch GB last season. He didn’t tear it up since he was o it with covid, but made the best of his limited past catching opportunities and showed he can do it.

I'm not a fan of paying RBs either, but depending on their skillset I think they can be worth it. Aaron Jones is one of those types. I also think they're that desperate for it in Miami to help take some pressure off Tua. Henry I didn't mind either because of how special he is, but I am interested to see how the next couple years go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to imagine year 4 is absurdly high cap hit and almost certainly won't play that year for Green Bay. Yep. I think if it's something like 13M SB + 2m 2021 salary + 5 million 2022 salary, thats probably okay. You're basically looking at 2 years, 10 million each and that's probably how you want to go with running backs. I don't expect him to fall off a cliff in the next two years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are thinking of Aaron Jones as the traditional RB, when he's probably closer to Alvin Kamara in terms of skillset and usage. That's the point. The draft was horrendous up top. Makes you think how close they were to a title if they drafted the right players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect him to fall off a cliff in the next two years I'd have to guess it's at the very least structured very similar to Dalvin Cook's deal. And the Packers usually like to put in workout bonuses, so figure 500k per year in workout bonuses. So you're essentially spreading out $33M in terms of base salary and roster bonuses over the course of the 4 seasons. The last extension the Packers gave was Kenny Clark who is getting roughly a third of his cap hits in the final 3 seasons of his deal this year. So..you're probably taking a 4M-5M cap hit year 1, maybe a bit higher. But probably not much more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They passed on the WRs because there were better values available (i.e. Jordan Love) and the WR board was decimated when it came for their second pick. IF Jordan Love ends up being a successful pick, NOBODY will complain about the Packers not taking a WR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I missed his 2 catches during the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 This looks like a solid deal. Jones got more than the Packers wanted to pay but he did not kill them for Zeke/Gurley money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillon. And that's if you include the postseason, too. I won't say Dillon can't catch passes, because I'm not familiar enough with his performance in college to really say, but to act like last year proved he could is incredibly naive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
