Well now we know why they signed Jacobs.

Man I wish they had kept them both.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
I called it, but wished I was wrong and felt kind of dumb for suggesting it. I was glad a couple of other people talked me out of it.
Now I'm back to feeling shitty again.
This is hard news. I guess the good news we take away from this, Gute is absolutely dead serious about doing every single thing he thinks needs to be done to win that trophy. There won't be any sentimental decisions. The whole team is on notice now; every single job has to be earned.

So.....
I'm thinking...had the Packers landed J. Taylor last year...Jones would have been released now as well. Gute must think Jones only has a year or so left and wants to get rid of him early? Or he's tired of him being hurt all the time.
Jones is gonna sign with a rival methinks to try to stick to the Pack if this is all true.

Huh,
Somebody knows something I (we) sure do not
Don't like the Jacobs for Jones swap, but I have some sentimental bias there. Jones was the extra gear for this offense over the last 3 years, and the cliche of being the heart and soul of the offense this last year is true. I would love to have him back but I have a feeling he'll get offers elsewhere GB won't want to match.
Class act on and off the field. Great Packer. If he's not back I'll be sad but I wish him the best.
Bummer.
But better a year early than a year late (?).
Hard to replace his leadership
Do they keep Dillon at a bargain price?
Well that’s effed up!! Thought we would be having two legit RBs. I’m going to trust management on this one due to the injury history. Still sad to see him go.
thats completely fucked
shows that lefleur and gutey have no respect for hm
trying to force aj dillon into his spot for a couple years, then cutting the guy who changed the game completely when he was on the field
I’m feeling better about this after reading Reds outrage. He is a major fuck up when it comes to these things so now I know it was the right call. Jones greatness was part of his downfall. Great enough to get us there but a deep playoff run carried the concern he would get banged up. For all we know he was feeling beatdown in the second half of the SF game.
Bottom line this group will compete the next few years with fresh horses at almost all spots. Why wouldn’t you have a fresh one at the spot where youth might matter most. Just wouldn’t be a good gamble.
