Maybe it was a person's name that was shortened to BLT like LVN. What's preventing you from just saying Ravens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Just now, squire12 said: wonder how many teams after being contacted by Jones agent said they weren't interested in him at that price? Kind of a shame. I have to assume Jones/Rosenhous had his value pegged somewhere in the 8M+ range, or 7M for multiple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 With Jones landing in MIN, what else do they have at RB? They must know Jones can't be used as a workhorse RB. That was true back when Jones was 24. It's even more true now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im bummed because Packers could've given him that deal. With all your WRs making crumbs they could've gave Jones an extra million. You let a good player, leader, and culture guy go to your rival for pocket change by NFL standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If GB was offering the reported 6M and Jones balked, I find it unlikely that Jones would have taken 7M from GB without testing the market. If Jones was willing to return on a 7M deal, I think it's very likely that Jones/GB would have met in the middle, and Jones would now be a Packer on a 6.5M deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 As soon the Packers agreed a deal with Jacobs there was no way back in for Jones. We have financially committed to someone else and Jones could not just turn around after testing the market and say "yeah the deal you offered me is fine". Extremely harsh reality of the NFL. I'm sure if he had it his way he would still be with us. I'm sure he turned down the Packers offer knowing that this could happen. I'm sure his agent fully explained the risks to him. I do have to admit I'm surprise he could only muster up a 1 year deal especially with the way he performed towards the latter end of the season. Vikings, Cowboys and Texans could've been used to drive up a minor bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) When is the last time GB got it wrong when deciding to move on from an aging player? Maybe Z-Smith, but I think that was more about the medicals, and him being a bit of a nut. Edited March 12 by Mazrimiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Andy Herman - Yep. My quick breakdown: 1. Gute & GB got the Jones valuation basically spot on. Whether it’s the right move or not we will see, be but Gute is not a villain here. 2. Jones has every right to play where he wants to play & given the choice I believe he would have preferred to be the guy in GB. Jones to me is not the villain here. 3. So who is the villain? Nobody. This is just business. And Packers fans should be used to this more than any other fans in the world. The losers in this deal: 1. Packers fans. Another kick to the **** to see an all time favorite Packer in purple and yellow 2. The Vikings. Minnesota is not on a Super Bowl timeline. Please keep spending money on one year mercenaries while Sam Darnold is your QB. 3. Aaron Jones’ chances of winning- Listen, he has every right to go to wherever he wants, get the most money, and be a starter. But Minnesota isn’t in a spot to win anything right now. And that sucks for Jones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to refuse the GB deal BEFORE you test the market. It may be Jones expected a lot more and it wasn't on offer. Bottom line is you cannot just put together the supposed $6m the Packers might have been offering and the deal he finally got and make the conclusion the Packers could have got Jones for $1m more. For all you know the Packers might have offered $8m and been rejected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns: 5 for 150M with 87.5M guaranteed. AAV: 30M Gary: 4 for 96M with 34.6M guaranteed. AAV: 24M We thought the Gary deal was pretty good at the time. It looks even better now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
