Leader Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I think Jacob's saw our offense last year and decided he wanted part of that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Just now, deltarich87 said: Yeah I'm good with this That's a good deal considering the low gtd. I am very surprised he didn't demand more guaranteed. $12M per is a ton for a RB but you seemingly can get out of it at any time. Why the hell not? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 17 minutes ago, incognito_man said: i don't have an opinion on Jacobs the player, I've paid effectively zero attention to him as a pro. But whatever your take on the player is, a 4yr deal for a 26yr old w/ 25% of the total deal being guaranteed seems like it definitely has the flexibility to be a long-term solution. It just seemed like an odd criticism of that contract. plus, we're just about guaranteed to acquire a rookie RB or two 1st team All Pro two seasons ago and he's 26. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 5 minutes ago, skibrett15 said: this is true and it's why they signed him. I would've gone bargain hunting for a better Dillon to pair with Jones rather than have a better dillon take most of Dillon and Jones' snaps. If you had Jones and Jacobs both, it's not like Jones wouldn't be the better player. And that's where I'm hung up I think. Jacobs is the worse player and the more expensive one. They made a lot of bad choices in the name of ring chasing with Aaron Rodgers and the Jones extensions were some of them. Now they have pushed so much money into this year that Jones is actually affordable to keep. I don't get why you don't just close it out with Jones and player X, using whatever extra you spent on Jacobs to get player X. Obviously FO thinks Jacobs is a major impact player. I just don't see it -- veteran RBs are almost never worth it. Decided to pull up his 2022 highlights. He ain't no plodder lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s1LbPrL7r0 He showcases some fantastic cut-backs, which is exactly what you want on this offense. I already like him more than Saquan, but I also am notoriously low on him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and with how cheap they are everywhere else on offense at WR/TE, not really a big deal giving a RB that much for this upcoming season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) So Jacobs getting around $14.8 in year one, which includes the SB. Parse that out over 4 years and his 2024 cap hit should be around...$5.4m or in that area. This basically equates with the cap savings in 2024 for Jones...around $5m.

Mazrimiv Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 On some level, I get the argument for keeping Jones, but Jacobs isn't Dillon by a long shot. I have to assume Jones being dinged the majority of 2023 was a major factor in how this played out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fattlipp Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 32 minutes ago, skibrett15 said: they need a contributor on a rookie deal. Next year we're looking at another "should we keep our aging/injured/mediocre RB" in all likelihood. Which is fine the deal is amazingly flexible. I just don't like the player at all. I think he's Dillon with a little more wiggle. he lead nfl in 2022 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
