Thank God.... Saves us from possibly making a huge mistake.
Great no more talk about him
Phew.....thank you GB. Now we don't have to pay big for a free agent RB when we can just draft one.

Not upset that we've not been in the bidding with that number. Got to be the draft now for our RB. Don't be shocked if we use 18.

That's a bit more than I was discussing in VIP.
For about 10 a year, my ears would have perked up.
I was always skeptical that the Packers were going to let him get away.
Good player.

Bullet dodged, though I don't really believe our front office was all that interested to begin with.

That's cool. The NFL has reached a weird place with Rbs, we should look to the draft. Glad we didnt get Jones for 12 mil.

I'm okay with that. Hof qb and excellent oline made him look better than what he would have brought to us.

So Georgie... given the choices which one would you prefer?
1. Defensive player
2. Slot Receiver
3. RB
Yeah I'm going to echo others here and say this comes as a relief to me. Would have hated to see us shell out big money for a running back in free agency. Pull the trigger on Harris, Etienne or Williams in the draft.

That likely means that they won’t sign Williams .... who I would seriously consider - as long as the $$$ is reasonable ... like 4-5 Mil per year, and call RB a day and see how the draft falls out.
Most will scoff, I know .... but very cheap way to improve our group ... even if we don’t draft Etienne, Williams or the like ...

I'm not a fan of paying any RB 12 million a year so I'm fine missing out on him.

There's the rub.
You can't buy top 36 draft picks (ordinarily).
But, if you could, how much would you be willing to pay (if you had the money)?
By all accounts, ETN and Najee will be gone by the time we select at 36 (Williams should still be there).
If by signing a proven, young, commodity (like Aaron Jones) for, say, $10 mil per, you suddenly have a top 36 pick to use as you wish.
Indeed.... 12 mil a year for a rb? No thanks. Draft one!!!!
Less money for the packers to sign Linsley
