Then Aaron Yoda Jones teaches the younguns how to play football like a professional, and how to act like a professional. Meanwhile, Jones stays surprisingly healthy, and with The Flower parsing his carries carefully, he has a great year and carries the team to a surprising SB win next year while the youngsters show great promise.

    Then, just before the SB, Drew Barrymore calls me up, because Mad contacted her and told her about my crush, and she asks me if I want to fly out to Cali to watch the SB with her. We have wild sex before the game, watch the Packers win the SB, which inspires Drew to say to me "Do whatever you want?" and -

    Okay, I'll stop there.

    I just hope Jacobs is damn good.

      Would rather have both. RBs are cheap. Nice insurance too if one goes down

        The fact that Madtown posted that Josh Jacobs is a dedicated football player that lives and breathes the sport of football brings some peace to my mind. I thought he had a fallout there and was an asshole.

        Mad would have the insider info there and I liked reading that
        TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

          Josh Jacobs is a good dude, good player. Davante was pretty devastated he left. Jones plus Jacobs would have been very special.

            Releasing Aaron Jones, I think only saved 5MIL off of our cap. We eat dead money on his deal. For 5MIL, I'd have rather just spun this situation way differently, and kept him. What a DUO

              Voted Jacobs because I assume the question refers to an entire 2024 season, and Aaron Jones will probably play 12 games. Hoping for 20 from Jacobs.

                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 nfl

                  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

                    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.”

                        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.
