The rest of the offensive skill players cost nothing, like they weren't going to sign a WR or a TE, and they're probably not going to sign an OL. Like the Packers entire cadre of pass catchers combined cost less than what the Steelers are paying Allen Robinson or the Raiders are paying Hunter Renfrow. Yes. Jones was a fan favorite and great on and off the field but he isn't the biggest RB around and did miss a lot of games recently. He will be missed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobs is more likely to take significantly more snaps than Jones would have. Additionally, GB then has Jacobs' rights for 3 more years at which point he'd be the same age Jones is now. Availability, age and looking beyond 2024 were all pretty clear factors in this replacement. Sad to see Jones go, he's a helluva person off the field as well. One of the best people we've had since I've been watching and he's obviously ridiculously good when he's feeling good, but that was unfortunately not as much as you'd like the last couple seasons. Plus Jacobs is 4 years younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
