The Rams, Jets, Cardinals, and Falcons all regret their decisions to pay up to keep continuity in the backfield. Injury History: Jones missed the majority of 2015 (at UTEP) with an ankle ligament injury. Injuries limited him to 12 games in both of his first two seasons for the Packers. When durability is one of the bigger reasons why you don't want to pay backs, you don't like to see that in his history.Replacability: A quick look around the league reveals why the RB market is depressed-- there's more supply than demand. Productive backs are commonly found outside of the first round. If you set the minimum at 100 carries, of the top 20 RB's in the league in terms of YPC, only five were first round picks. Resources: The Packers aren't nearly as cap strapped as some people would make them out to be, but they don't and won't have a lot of excess room to work with for a couple more seasons after last off-season's spending spree. Obviously 7M spent on Jones would be 7M less than you can spend elsewhere.</blockquote>
