First of all, it's true that Jones is getting long in the tooth. He is pretty unique though so who knows how long he can do it. But we probably don't want to give him a 4 year contract. If we let him go; we have $12 or I have read $17 million against the cap. And we still will want a RB. Seems obvious to me that Gute wants a tier 1 RB. The point is, we still have to pay someone and are on the hook for the 12 or 17 million. So why not pay Jones? And stop pushing out the money. Just give him what his worth is. Guarantee the money or just give him the money (one year contract). But don't push money out. Maybe just start paying him year to year. Or a two year. He might not like that but also he might think he already has enough money and wants to stay in Green Bay. If he remains healthy and effective; I would rather have him than someone else. And we would have a bit more time to find the RB we want for the future.</p></blockquote><p></p>
