Jones needs to stay

Talk is he needs to be let go.

He is this teams catalyst

To be fair to the first statement not a soul I know says it because they don’t think he is a good player. It is all fiscal and availability I ever hear.

If I’m GB I’m having a serious sit down with Jones and saying this contract just is insane, we gotta work together to keep you here.

 

[sschind]

So how much is acceptable? Do you try to get a 1 year concession or do an extension?

 

[Team Ronny]

He is definitely the guy that drives this offense..Love has been so much better when Jones is running like this.

Hang a lot of better than average numbers incentives. $400k/game + $2k per yard from scrimmage type averages.

 

[weeds]

I say pay the man. Via extensions and converted signing bonuses. The guy has earned it - and, is good "Packer people".

 

[tynimiller]

Folks the issue is we have paid the man, he’s made a ton and even has some void money issues already. Over 6.5M in void already

 

[Pugger]

Is this the last year of his contract?

 

[gopkrs]

I think he'll get some money from us. The money we owe him does not matter because whether he stays or goes; we pay that. It's pretty obvious he has not been healed all year until the last few games. I think it's also pretty obvious that LaFleur should not take many running opportunities away from him by giving the ball to Dillon.

Plus 3 void year's that is about $6.5 m dead cap.

 

[longtimefan]

The guy took a pay cut this year. He needs to stay.

 

[OldSchool101]

He’s here regardless in 2024. It’s a tricky contract but I think there’s a way to restructure it so he’s around $20m X2 area.
Maybe not a perfectly clean out in 2026, but by pushing just a few million Void $$ etc into 2026

#33 is the exception to the rule. Keep him I want him to sport a Ring next season

I don't think anyone is going to disagree...however if he says he won't redo his deal you cannot do that. He is set to make ludacris money next year.

I don't think you can get 17 games out of Jones if you run him 20 times a game.

What is the exact number on the cap next year?

 

[tynimiller]

What is the exact number on the cap next year?

If nothing changes he will hit the cap for $17.7M which is more than any RB this year and would be higher next year than McCaffrey and ONLY Kamara will be higher if he stays as his is.

I'm ok with that. I think it's doable. But I also think Bakhtiari and Savage are going to get cut post June 1 and there could be others depending on how the draft plays out.

 

[RRyder]

He's not playing next year on his current deal. Come on guys. Either we re work it or he plays somewhere else but 0% chance he's playing at that cap number

 

[PackerDNA]

This offense is another level with him in. He's all heart and soul. I don't care about his age or cap number. Figure it out, and get him back here next year

 

[Pkrjones]

I think he gets a 1 or 2 year ($8 or $9 mil/yr) extension with significant amount SB, the cap is spread out through 2026 more evenly.

Need a bell cow RB from the '24 draft knowing Aaron only gets 15ish touches per game. Jones' deal is done & off the books just when this year's draft pick is ready for extension.

Need to figure it out. It's very apparent that with him there they are better

Didn't say they won't figure it. Just there no chance he's playing on his current deal

He may..don't say no chance

 

[RRyder]

He may..don't say no chance

Flat out no chance. He's playing somewhere else before he plays in GB at that number
