AJ Dillon injury

[GB-Brandon]

Gute has to make it work with “His Guys” at some point. This will be his 4th draft & offseason coming up!!! He drafted Dillon in the second round last year. It’s simple math guys.

There are FA options & draft options at RB that I like that will serve the purpose. I’m sure the Packer front office is on top of it!!

It is my belief that we should keep the OL intact(Linsley) and keep opening up holes and running lanes. We’ll be okay at RB!!!!

Jones shouldn’t even be a discussion anymore and a “Maybe” on Williams at around 8 per.

That’s the real deal.

8 per year for Williams would put him in he top 10 salaries for RB's. https://overthecap.com/position/running-back/ I doubt he'll command that kind of money, especially in a year where the salary cap is going down. Probably 4-5 would be more like it.

Yep

You can sign 'em all. For a while. Saints did that. But now they're going to have to dismantle that team.

No, they really didn't. 2019 lost Mark Ingram and Alex Okafor. 2020 they lost Vonn Bell and AJ Klein.

Now, I agree they focused in resigning a lot of their own FAs. But to pretend like all you need to do is wave a magic wand and you can sign everyone is Harry Potter level fantasy.

You absolutely cannot keep them all. Successful teams that go deep into the playoffs will lose more players -- good players -- than other teams.
The buyers will almost certainly overpay -- that's the nature of FA.

I like Jones, but long ago I came to peace with the idea that they can and likely will move on from him. They have to free up cap space as it is, and I don't see how you can fit him without losing a LOT of other players. Plus we know RBs don't last and replacements are easier to find than many other positions.

If they are going to cook the cap, I'd rather it be to keep Devante Adams after next season. They can get by with Dillon and whoever else they draft/sign at RB.

I’ve been seeing 6-8 for what he can do. He can run, catch and block and is durable. He has developed himself nicely. I think your undervaluing him. He has kinda been this little secret because he gets overshadowed by Jones but I think you will be surprised what he commands.

He ranks out on PFF only 5 points behind Jones overall. A team is gonna pay him. He can be a no.1.

And if we win a Super Bowl you can basically add a little more to everyone’s “Expected Contract” cause that’s just how it Goes!

[GB-Brandon]

Take the Air Out Of The Balloon and come down to reality!!! I am far from the Insane one in here!!! Gute is gonna have to draft HIS OWN GUYS!!!!!

He is gonna have to get out of Fairy Tale land and put the RAS Charts down and get with it!!! He has a lot of work ahead of him.

[GB-Brandon]

Jamal Finishes runs too. He knows where that Fucken first down marker is!!!!

The guy is one of the funnest guys I’ve ever met!!

I don’t know shit, but this makes a whole lot of common sense to me.

He is exactly right. Who overpays for RB’s? The Rams with Gurly? The Cowboys with Zeke? The Jets with Bell? Where has all the success come from this practice?

It’s stupid. I feel bad for them but RB’s are literally like bombs getting ready to go off. That’s how fast they can go down hill. I don’t think Gute should of even offered Jones what he did. And I am also not upset at Jones for declining the offer. It’s the only big contract he is probably ever gonna get so yeah, try to get the most. I get it.

I can understand why some fans are attached to Jones and hate to see him go but really it’s gonna be okay. Losing Adams would be ten times worse!! We might not be able to get another “Aaron Jones” but as long as we keep the OL intact we can get pretty close to that production with some good front office work. There are tons of studs coming out of college ready to run hard for a contract!!!

We’re really not gonna have a problem getting another RB and getting production from that position. It’s the least of my worries. And that’s not to take anything away from Aaron Jones!!!

The guys who will best serve the purpose are right here. Figure it out Gute and while you are at it draft a WR in round one

A team like the Seahawks would pay Williams 6-8 per and they would run him till his legs fell off!! He’d be out of the league in two years!!

Believe That!!!

Then let them, because he's not worth 6-8 Million/Year

I am thinking Dillon won't get a lot of snaps on Sunday. Partly the injury, but also because in order to neutralize the inside pass rush, especially if TB is sending those very quick inside 'backers on pass rushes, you'd better have running backs who know the blocking schemes inside and out and can execute them. Williams is really good; Jones has gotten much better. Dillon's still a rook.
