Maynard Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) 4 year $48 million. Seems like a great guy, happy for him. Edited March 14, 2021 by Maynard
whatdrought Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) That’s a good deal. He’s one of few running backs worth paying cause he is so diverse in his skill set. That being said- two things: 1- that draft last year has led to two top 65 picks backing up highly paid starters. Not sure that’s how a team trying to maximize a HOF’s last SB window should play things. 2- not sure why you don’t just franchise tag him? 8 million or so this year, do it again next year and you get closer to the 12 million they’re paying him anyways... if the franchise tag doesn’t work for RB’s, it doesn’t work for anyone. - I suppose he could have made it clear he wouldn’t play on the tag, but I haven’t heard anything about that. 1 minute ago, YoloinOhio said: Lol. Meaning the pre-legal tampering tampering came up with a bum market. Gonna be interesting to see how this FA period shakes out. Edited March 14, 2021 by whatdrought 1
BuffaloRebound Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Well, for those who want Etienne or Harris at pick 30, nobody’s taking a RB from picks 26 through 29. And I doubt 2 go before pick 25 but you never know. Edited March 14, 2021 by BuffaloRebound

BuffaloBills1998 Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 For a second It looked like he was going to Miami. Maybe Miami saw what the packers were going to pay him and said no thanks
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 I heard Miami was linked to Jones as having some interest. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.sportsnet.ca/nfl/report-packers-aaron-jones-reach-agreement-four-year-deal/sn-amp/
BillsFan130 Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 I was hoping Miami was going to overpay for him

Prob not but wouldn't be shocked 1

That’s a LOT of moolah to pay for a RB. He was a 5th round pick a few years ago. I’d hope we would just go find another one and spend the money on the lines, QB, pass rush and WR. BUT, that’s why I’m here on my couch.

I see what you are saying... but maybe they just want to pay him because he deserves it... even if the “rules “ allow them to try to pay him less... He has been paid chump change in his career so far.. Edited March 15, 2021 by Aussie Joe

MAJBobby Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Good now I can’t stop reading about people wanting to overpay a RB.
Rc2catch Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Crazy they have now invested almost 1/3 of their cap to Rodgers adams and Jones. And invested first and second round draft picks as backups. Weird team building strategy to me. Thought for sure Dillon would take over. Run Dillon and sign williams back at a fraction of the cost and maybe you could afford some better defensive players. Still gonna be a great offense but I wouldn’t expect them to build in such a way. 1
