Aaron Jones Re-Signed - JustInTime - 03-09-2025
RE: Jones Back - purplefaithful - 03-09-2025
Hmmm....I'd like this a lot more if he were our RB2
I got excited thinking it was the "other Jones"
Better edit that title buddy

Good point.
He’ll be the bell cow until he’s not.

Meh I was fine either way. He took some wear and tear, I feel like it's going to be some running back by committee

He can hold his head high:
A fifth-round pick in 2017, Jones spent the first seven seasons of his career in Green Bay. Since he entered the league, he ranks No. 5 in rushing yards (7,078) and No. 9 in yards from scrimmage (9,562). He also has scored 70 touchdowns (50 rushing).
He'll be a great locker-room resource for a rook too...If that happens.

Wonder if the draft focuses on a bigger change of pace guy.

Really dislike this move, not a fan of Jones, did a good job last year, but was always banged up and has no big burst of speed. Two years 20 is way too much. We should be looking for our franchise RB with home run speed to team up with our JJM and JJ, not some RB who is well past his best days.
RE: Aaron Jones Re-Signed - JustInTime - 03-09-2025
Interesting.
Typically always banged up guys don’t…checks notes… start 18 out of 18 games, but that could just be me.
RE: Aaron Jones Re-Signed - JustInTime - 03-09-2025
Minimal cap impact. Well done.

3.5% of the salary cap is what Jones cost. It’s not some blockbuster deal for a guy who started every game last year.
