[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 881765"] It seems Love hasn't been good enough in this year's camp to move past Boyle on the depth chart. With him not receiving any meaningful snaps for the rest of this season it would be insane to move on from Rodgers before the start of the 2021 league year. My point being that no running back in the league is that much better than his possible replacement to justify paying him $12 million or even more money per year. It's smarter to use the cap space on different positions on the roster. The Packers won't have the cap space to make it a smart move to re-sign Jones. Actually that's why the Packers should let Jones walk away in free agency next offseason. Gutekunst spending the team's first four picks of this year's draft on backups was a waste of ressources. Letting Jones walk away in free agency would be a smart choice though. I understand the Packers would save a lot of cap space over the next few years by moving on from Rodgers after this season. But the drop-off in performance doesn't warrant to even think about it, especially after Love wasn't even able to move past Boyle on the depth chart. It's likely the salary cap will increase again from the 2022 season on. Therefore backloading contracts might be necessary to make it work for next season. I agree the performance of players on their rookie deals is essential for a team's success but Love hasn't done anything to justify having confidence in him. [/QUOTE]
