Aaron Jones is young and has very little wear and tear. I’ve been advocating for him for a couple months now but I’m fearful his price tag will be too high. If we can get him on a deal, I’m all for it but I hope we don’t overpay. I still draft a RB.

You have your own sources that says it’s not true???

We won't sign a rb. With the amount of carries some of the backs with more production than gaskin were better. Give gaskin the Benefit of the doubt.

I’d love him at 10-12 million but doubt he comes that cheap. I can’t see Miami paying top dollar for a RB but I know our staff wants one.

Like others have mentioned, the difference here is Jones should be good for a while because he wasn’t overused in Green Bay. He’s a young stud RB and I get the interest.
If the Fins are looking for any high priced FA, whether it be Jones, David or Goodwin, they more than likely will only be able to afford one. A person has to ask themselves. With our draft capital, which holes do you want to spend money on and which ones do you want to try to fix in the draft? IMO, they will take the best deal they can get in FA to fill one major hole and use the draft and lower priced FA's to try to fill the rest.
If they sign a players like Jones I could see the draft going like, 1a Chase and 1b being Parson or Collins.
If they sign a player like David, I could see them going Chase and Rousseau in the 1st with Williams in the 2nd.
We're still 3 weeks away from FA and 60+ from the draft. I have a feeling that in 4 weeks we'll be able to get a real good idea of what the Fins have planned for the 2021 offseason.

Anyone who truly believes this is the idiot. The guy was a lawyer who liked football, started a news/rumor site that turned into the most popular one on the net.....which he parlayed into a new career as NBC Sports main football news and insider man on their Sunday night national broadcast and weekly shows. I'd dare say he may be THE most connected news/insider guy working the NFL now. Like him or not, this guy works his ass off.
Get him and get Williams RB position solved. Gaskins is trash.

I don't know how to quote it here however Barry Jackson is reporting it on Twitter as well.
Grier is so stupid. This would be an awful decision. DON'T PAY RUNNING BACKS BIG MONEY.
Id happily sign AJ to under 10mil per year. Usually I'm anti FA RB, but when you have a QB on a rookie contract you can spend elsewhere. Plus, Jones is still young and very talented. Would instantly improve the team.

He's young for every other position besides RB. Will turn 27 during the first season of the contract. Main thing going for him is low mileage his first 2 years.
But still, how often do these big long term RB signings after their rookie contracts work out?
If we can spend 12 million on 1 player, I'd hope we'd be able to allocated it better elsewhere.

Not liking it all - draft a hungry plug and let him play lots allow him to run his Butt off let him walk after his rook contract - wash, rinse repeat
