packfanfb Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 8 minutes ago, Scoremore said: He's a better version of Dillon but he ain't no Aaron Jones. Not really a fan of the signing. Of course wasn't a fan of signing Charles Woodson either. So there's that. Need to supplement him in the draft. Need a slasher like Jones with some speed. Keep Jacobs fresh and rotate RB's might turn out OK. Gonna miss Jones not going to lie. Don't think Jacobs is as good or dynamic. Dillon isn't in the same zip code as Jacobs. Now if I had the choice between paying $12m to a 26 year old Jones or Jacobs I'd probably pick Jones, but that's not the choice here. We can't ignore Jones is about to be 30 and has some durability issues. Those factors typically don't mix. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 1 hour ago, persiandud said: Sources to @DMRussini The Packers wanted Aaron Jones to take at least a 50% pay cut entering the final year of his deal. After being released, Jones is drawing interest from — you guessed it — the Minnesota Vikings. It seems like MN is often caught dumpster diving behind 1265. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll feel pretty betrayed if Jonesy picks them....go play for the Cowboys or Texans pls (or even better, come back on a new deal with us) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerLegend Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Jacobs and draft Brooks would be ok with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieHigh Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Jacobs has nice body control, decent power, sufficient speed to hit a hole. Might not break a bunch of long ones but much quicker to start and stop than dillon. Would love pairing bucky irvin with jacobs. The thing being overlooked here is the packers know WAY more about how jones' knee looks than us. He may be on the first train to arthritisville and we just have no idea.

I mean the Packers are strong believers in "it's better to get rid of a guy one year too early, than one year too late" and most of the time when they've made this sort of call (Sitton, Daniels, etc.) they were eventually proven right.

skibrett15 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 this is 100% the deal they should've made. Keep Jones, sign Zack Moss, who is probably a better player than Jacobs anyway: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Ken Ingalls - Packers Cap - Aaron Jones original 2024 cap hit: $17.58M Aaron Jones 2024 dead cap hit: $12.36M Josh Jacobs new 2024 cap hit: $5.31M Their combined moves are more expensive over keeping Jones. This wasn't about cap savings as some suggest, it's all about the cash for the expected production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobs can run/block/catch. It’s like comparing a puzzle to a Rubik’s cube. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
