[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1004939, member: 7261"] My first gut reaction to the JT rumors of the Packers being interested in him, was "yeah, right, they don't need a RB". However, after sitting on the thought for the day, my thought process was exactly what you spelled out here. Acquiring him would be more about 2024 and beyond. That said, would he and Aaron Jones be a heck of a tandem this season? Heck yes. Would he take some pressure off of Love and the passing game, most definitely. Aaron Jones is a great back, Dillon is a good back, but how will they both be when defenses load the box with 7, because they don't have to worry about Aaron Fricking Rodgers anymore? Dillon is in his final year of his contract, he may walk in 2024. Jones will be 29 in Dec. and is in a contract that would mean a $17.7M cap hit next year, if it isn't restructured. Jonathan Taylor is a proven 24 year old quantity. Is he going to cost more than an average back? Of course he is, but odds are, he is going to provide more than 90% of the backs in the league. He had over 2100 all purpose yards in 2021. My only pause on JT is how much does he want and what do the Colts want in a trade. [/QUOTE]
