Yeah I could see it. Especially if they're good on teams too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuFF Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 To me the only silver lining is that at that contract, he is not a lock to make the 53. The coaches have just shown such a disdain for playing rookies it seems like he will, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Tom Silverstein - Under this kind of deal, Dillon gets a signing bonus of $167,000 and his base salary can’t be over $2.575M. Packers get a huge cap benefit. He would count about $1.1M against the cap. No-risk deal Packers can get out of at anytime without cap ramifications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 AJ Dillon is a good dude for sure. Maybe Aaron Jones was holding him back and now he'll blossom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dillon will most likely end up being a vet who sticks around for 2-3 years on the practice squad. Good guy to have around in the locker room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass pro is super important, you don't want to risk the franchise with a rookie you're not sure about. That said, having a reasonably dynamic Bell cow in Jacobs, a seasoned if unspectacular vet in Dillon, and a dynamic rookie learning the ropes seems like a pretty ideal RB room 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Bill Huber - Bunch more updates on Dillon here. I recalled that he was top 10 in YAC per catch in 2021. In 2023, had he caught enough passes, he would have finished second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) Dillon when he stands alongside the QB he isn't very good. He's unable to build up steam as he hits the gap. He's too big and not agile enough to wiggle his way through in that type of situation but he does compensate well in other ways such as peeling off to be an effective receiver. Dillion when he stands behind the QB is much more effective, he basically has a longer run up to get up to speed and is much more effective imo. Here his physicality would shine through more. However the problem is that Jones took all the early down snaps and Dillon was in 3rd down pass pro which meant he often lined up alongside the QB. I don't think things will change with Jacobs in the backfield. Jacobs will essentially get all of Aaron Jones snaps.

Toddfather Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I really like Dillon the dude so I am happy about this. I hope it all just clicks and he crushes it this year, but if nothing else he's a great character guy who can protect 10 and he isn't breaking the bank. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodestar Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 He’s basically new age John Kuhn. For a vet minimum, I’ll take that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Excellent work, Gute. Pass pro from the RB position is important and AJD is damn good at it. No-risk deal to us and the Mayor of Door County stays where he loves. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
