[QUOTE="Thirteen Below, post: 1030535, member: 18006"] You really think Gutekunst thought all along that Aaron Jones was going to take a second consecutive 50%+ salary cut, months after taking the team to the playoffs and being istrumental in beating Dallas? Especially with Drew Rosenhaus representing him? He knew keeping Jones was no slam dunk, so he wes non-committal. "We expect that he will be back", which means "he might be back or he might not be back, we really don't know which way it'll go", which... we already knew, right? It's GMspeak. "Jones might be back", "Wilson made the most of his opportunities and showed a lot of progress, blah blah blah." Doesn't mean a thing. "Wilson's our guy in March, and will be unless something changes". OK, got it, thanks Gute! Gutekunst says whatever supports the way he wants people to think about the team at any given time - the fans, the players, their agents, and other teams. Just like any other GM. It's a big part of his job to control information in order to present an image of the team that is most beneficial to the Packers, and I take everything he says regarding future personnel decisions with a grain of salt - probably at least some truth to it, maybe a little maybe a lot... but most of it is just vague, "could mean anything" language when you read it a second and third time. But to answer your question, no - haven't made it to camp in years, I live too far from Green Bay now. Sounds like you did; what did you see last summer that I didn't see in anyof the televised games? What do you like about him? [/QUOTE]
