Would you rather have Aaron Jones or Josh Jones

Man you guys are heartless. Give me AJO all day. Better player, better human.

How do you know he's a better human? What do you know about Jacobs? And 2 years ago, Jacobs was the best running back in the NFL. But I guess I'm heartless for pointing that out.

FIRST OFF, GUTEBAG completely JORDYNELON'D Aaron Jones this year. He wanted him to take a salary cut slightly over 50% of last year, "after" Aaron Jones helped out GB last year by taking a pay cut.

So let's not criticize anybody for holdouts; this was kinda cold.

Tom Pelissori reported this recently after chatting with Jones Agent. Noted it was a real possibility that GB was going to try to make Jones take a significant paycut. Also, Jones, we amicable about taking a restructure; had Gutebag offered a cutback to about 8MIL instead of the 6 MIL range he'd be a Packer.

So instead, we fabricate a 4 year 48 Million dollar contract for Josh Jacobs, who might be a better player and is younger in age but not touches.

But Year 2 of that deal, is for 14.8 Million. Play that back. This is basically a one year deal and then GB goes back to Josh Jacobs year after year to restructure. If that was the direction, we already had a stud RB willing to do that.

And Jones, after we waive him, we only get 5MIL of cap relief. GUTEBAG has veins of ICE.

After the end of season interview, UTEBAG was stupid enough to declare Aaron Jones was the heart and sole of the GB Packers and he would definitely be back with the Packers next season

HE FLIPPED; went cold, and sign a fairly comprable RB in talent, to basically a one year deal. .

Restructure Jones to a 2 year Deal, give him his 8 MIL this year, draft a RB in rounds 1-3, and call it day.

AND, use those Josh Jacobs funds for another safety or LB.

This is the obvious path IMO. We shall see what happens but on paper I really looks like he messed this one up to me.

No, on paper he probably nailed it. But in terms of fans/locker room he probably got it wrong. I'll tell you what. If you want to place a friendly wager of $1 or $100 I will bet you Jacobs has a much better year than AJ next year...by much better I mean 20% more rushing yards and equal receiving yards. Jacobs has been much better than AJ over the past 3 seasons, all while playing on a dysfunctional team. Smart money says he is again.

Stats often don't tell the whole story. I believe AJO is the superior player and so does everyone else.

Ok, you believe that, apparently Gute, who might have more information than us doesn't, as far as everyone else? Jacobs isn't quite as dynamic, but his skillset is really impressive. Also, addressing your 'stats don't tell the whole story', that's true; Jacobs is a much better receiver than his stats show.

Such a mamón!

Let’s see what this guy thinks…

No...clearly 32 GMs do not. Basically most everyone understands that Jacobs is the better player. AJO was a fan favorite and one of my personal faves, but he isn't a bell cow. Jacobs is.

I disagree he was the best back in the NFL. He may have had the most yards or best stats, but that doesn't mean he was the most talented and when you really need to make a play he can do it better than others.

AJO is a special player and the heart and soul of the team last year. I would guess the offense regresses significantly next year unfortunately. We shall see!

Lighten up on the heartless part

[bobblehead]

Man you guys are heartless. Give me AJO all day. Better player, better human.

I mean, Josh Jones is a safety so we have a bigger need, but he is a shitty safety so there is that.

Seriously, at least get the players right.

That said, I would have just stuck with AJ and drafted guys. But this heartless talk is just silly. Its funny how someone like you always points out the NFL is a business when players make business decisions, but when a GM realizes that 26 years old compared to 29 (30 in 2024 season) is night and day then he is a heartless bastard. Gutes did what is right for the Packers. That is his job. If Love turns down $40 million per annum is he being a heartless bastard or is he doing what is smart for Love?
