I think Gute does a heck of a job as GM. He ****ed up on this one though. Having Jones would prolong Jacobs career too. Unless we actually find out the number Jones was holding out for, there is nothing to be mad about. It doesn't sound like the Jones/Jacobs combo was ever something Gute was considering. It was always one or the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably thought he could get 10+ over 2 years 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 It also doesn't sound like GB pursued Jacobs until talks with Jones fell apart. I doubt Gute/Rosenhous were ever close when it comes to what it would take for Jones to return. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCalebR Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Yeah we'll be alright as long as Jacob's produces. Jayden can take some reps back there as well. Edited March 12 by HighCalebR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the contract clearly says that we don't care about prolonging a career. He's a Packer for 3-4 years so long as he produces. If he doesn't? On to the next RB.....

He calls out Jordan Love for poor play....look what happens. He doubles down and calls Love "QB purgatory", look what happens. Let the man talk. This is a good thing. LOL .. I guess you're right. Nothing better than being wrong so far on pretty much everything he's been opposed to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at that contract, Jacobs doesn't seem likely to be a Packer for more than 3 years. If he fails miserably, he'll be gone after two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are excellent 'negative indicators'. What that means is you listen carefully to what they say, then do or believe the opposite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very familiar with the concept. Watson and Reed still suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 27 minutes ago, OneTwoSixFive said: There is a very good argument that says Gute didn't mess this up at all. Jones has been an excellent RB when healthy. He is 30 at the end of this season. As a matter of interest, where did it say the Packers and Jones were $1.5m apart ? His salary was 11 or close to it. Packers wanted a 50% haircut. He signed a one-year deal for 7. I did the math. If he wanted more than 7 he would have hung around more than 12 hours before signing a deal and going to a team that won't be contending for anything., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't make it through an entire season with one RB. The reason he spent a 2nd on Dillon four years ago, in Jones PRIME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
