In other shocking news..the just are interested in Bakhtiari!

Who are the "just"? You mean the Jets?

GB loses a lot in the receiving game. I get the age difference but AJ had 1177 carries in 7 seasons while JJ has 1305 in 5 seasons. Career rushing avg. AJ 5.0- JJ 4.2 Rushing TDs AJ-45/JJ-46. Receptions AJ-272/JJ-197 YDS. AJ-2.076/JJ - 1448 AVG. AJ- 7.6/ JJ- 7.4 Receiving TDs AJ-18/ JJ-0. Games played AJ-97/ JJ-73. Not knowing how much AJ wanted and how much JJ is getting I will reserve judgement for now and hope it is an improvement. I wonder who is the better pass blocker? Going to be pretty tough to be a better locker room guy that AJ. Of course the FO knows a lot more about his health and last years injuries than I do. It will be interesting to see just where he lands. Another 2 guys from the Rodgers era are gone. Jacobs is 38 months younger than Jones.

Crazy that Jacobs has zero receiving touchdowns. The question is, can Jones cash in on the market at 29?
This might be a Greg Jennings situation where a player bets on himself. (don’t jump on me now with character comparisons, this ain’t that)
The Packers must have really low balled him is my thinking.

Murphys errors as well! He kept Ted around way too long, even as his health was declining, and was obvious to everyone else that he was not very sharp anymore.

Agree, TT's last 3 or 4 drafts turned out to be pretty bad.

Actually...including the playoffs:

Aaron Jones has 1,281 carries for 6,451 yards and has scored 71 touchdowns in 104 games in the regular-season and playoffs in his career.

I was looking for that stat. Thanks!

I wish we just kept Aaron Jones. Isn't he still on the books for this year now?

 

[Todd Princl]

Does this make Packer fans happier?! We got the best safety on the market!! Whoo Hoo!!!

NFL Network says McKinney is a Packer!!!!!

 

[jetfixer]

Now see Jones getting released, damn it man

 

[Todd Princl]

I think we are done with free agency lol!! There are whispers that they are letting Jones and Campbell test the market and might bring them back on cheaper deals. Gonna be tough with Jones I am afraid.

Aaron Jones, Kenny Clark, Davante Adams, Corey Linsely, Jamaal Williams, et al. Bad might be a pretty strong word. The 2015 draft though had to be one of the worst in franchise history though.

 

[jetfixer]

I bet Jones winds up a Cowboy, just a feeling.

Ron Wolf’s last draft was beyond abysmal!!

SCORE!!!

Way to go Gute! $17M per year isn't cheap, but something that the Packers really needed and I think they probably got a top 5 Safety in the league and he is only 24 to boot!

Woah baby. I can't process all this in half an afternoon. Gutekunst has my head spinning.

 

[Todd Princl]

The only reason I say no is because they ride their running backs hard. I could see Henry going there though.
Aaron Jones reeks of Houston Texans at this point.

Lol, the Jamaal Reynolds disaster?

 

[DoURant]

I was on the phone with my financial advisor when the McKinney news flashed on the screen.... I was like yup, uh huh, sure, sounds good, let's keep in touch, thanks for calling, see ya soon.... WOOOO!!!

SCORE!!!

Packer's management is going to definitely need to crank up their day care program........ for the players! Dang this team is young.

This is no longer the "Ted Thompson Green Bay Packers."

Gutekunst is on a rampage out there!

Giant fans are raging right now as they lost McKinney and Barkley. They got Runyon though!!

No kidding. I think he needs to immediately proclaim to everyone in the building. IT's MILLER TIME!!!

This position had to be solidified as almost everyone has posted at one time or another. This takes a little bit if the sting out of losing A. Jones. I am really interested in hearing the negotiation scuttlebut.
