[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1004454, member: 7261"] I agree about the Packers not being built for smash mouth football. However, I do think our O-Line is better than it seems to be getting credited for. I prefer an OL that is above average at both run and pass blocking, which I think is what we have in GB. All that said, Jonathan Taylor would probably be a very good back for the Packers, but I wouldn't have wanted the Packers giving up the resources it would require to have both him and Jones running the ball. One article I read did make some sense of it though. Both AJ's might be gone after this season, due to an expiring contract (Dillon) and last year contract with a big cap hit ($17.7M) with Aaron Jones. Had the trade been done, it would have been getting Taylor in advance of potentially needing someone like him in 2024. Maybe had it been Dillon and a day 3 pick, along with a decent reworked contract, might have been worth it. Guessing JT is looking for a lot of guaranteed money, as well as one of the top RB per year deals. I'll take my chances on finding RB's in 2024 and beyond. [/QUOTE]
