Because I am not an actual GM - just a sentimental fool - I vote for Aaron Jones. For half a second I thought they were going to have them both; as Bretsky said, that would've been a wet dream come true. You could still draft a running back or two, and let them watch and learn. Maybe ask Love if he'd take five million less that first year so he could have a Jag (very cool but breaks down often) AND a Ram truck in his backfield next year.

i'd have liked to keep jones, and had the best rb tandem in the nflOriginally Posted by Fritz
it sucks that we cut him because he had a 17 million dollar cap him, but is still gonna count 12.3 against while not being on the team. and that doesn't count the salary
even if he had taken the pay cut to 4 million dollars, he would have counted 16.3. did we really cut him to save less then a million bucks in cap space?
we saved 4.7 million, thats it. dillion will count 1.3, and somehow nixon is 6+ million a year
should have just kept him, and rewarded a guy who wanted to be here and actually took a pay cut last year

If the fact he went straight to purple for the same amount doesn’t tell you how it went down then you are not only a hick but a stupid one at that. He wanted more, Pack said he wasn’t worth it, he took what Pack said he was worth anyways with a divisional rival. You can look through my post for years and see I was never a huge Jones guy. That’s because of consistency and like it or not it has hurt this team when trying to go on deep runs. He was great but always had worries he would blow a gasket while almost to the top of the mountain. If Jacobs can provide that we can see this young talented squad get to the top.
Look at the company you are keeping voting Jones:
Bretsky, homer
call_me_ishmael, clown show
Fritz, stalker
NewsBruin, must have been drunk
Let's be honest with ourselves, though. The people voting for Jacobs are no saints. There's a low bar, actually there's no bar, to post at Packer Rats.
Oh there is a bar!! Very low and it usually goes like this…
That's the fucking who's who of Packerrats.

Suffice to say, Raiders coach Antonio Pierce was not pleased to lose Josh Jacobs: “Don’t like to see it. I made it known, the heartbeat, a Raider through and through. As we all know, it’s a business. You hear that a lot, but it’s true. Money talks, BS walks... But that one hurt.”
