It was a big f u to the front office

[@rossbrower7668]

Would you take a 50% cut of your wages?

[@davefransen5096]

​@rossbrower7668 he only got a million more than what the Packers offered

[@richardaguilera188]

@davefransen5096 he could have held out for Dallas for a better offer or the chargers wants to play them and now the vikings have our running protection and playbook with no qb its personal

[@mcdaddy9629]

It was a big F u too Jones.

[@mademan219]

​@@rossbrower7668yesss I would when a 50% pay cut is 6 and you signed with Vikings for 7 when you could of did 7 with packer but he trusted his agent Drew Rosenhouse who screw him by telling to see what the market has. It gets deeper Mr. Drew is also Jordan Loves agent and Xavier McKinney the new safety we signed so that being said his agent knew exactly what was going on but still let him to believe to explore the open market. Yet he went to a team with No QB who have 2 rookies and just sign Sam darnold cause Kirk left and JJettas that's it viking are terrible worse move ever

[@artcarl9333]

In my opinion it comes down to his agent. Everyone hates dealing with Drew. I feel like the Packers put their final offer out there and he came back with a counter offer like he still had a 21 year old stud Jones. Time was of the essence and the Packers made the decision to move on and not play this drawn out game Drew is famous for.

Yeah, not like they're gonna give him the same 'time-cushion' Rodgers had. Tough.

This does make me wonder if there are some issues behind the scenes in the front office.

[@gerhardcilliers1909]

I say the NFL must take Player Contracts more seriously and stop teams from signing players for a certain contract only to ask them to take a paycut later. It is a breach of contract.

[@bayshorepark1231239]

those terms are agreed upon at the signing of the contracts. That is why they get the huge signing bonuses

[@Jon-oi3me]

He has been outstanding/loyal to this organization and what did it get him. A big ole FU from the front office. I’m totally agree with Ryan Grant.

[@pudgydaddy]

I think letting him go was a big mistake, but only time will tell. I do believe Gute makes excellent decisions overall. I'm starting to think Jones' agent may be to blame for the breakdown here.

[@rangerTess]

Agree 💯

[@gmgbillzdagoat]

This is ALL Drew Rosenhaus

[@pudgydaddy]

@@gmgbillzdagoat Yeah, it's making me more upset about it because it's very likely that Aaron wanted to stay in GB but it was Drew that was playing hardball with the situation and messed everything up. So then Aaron had no choice but to accept an offer elsewhere because GB called Drew's bluff. What a shame...

This is the sad reality of the running back market. They take the most brutal punishment of any position on the field and are the essential piece to any successful passing game.Yet, to make 10 mil a year is absolutely absurd. Meanwhile you have guys like Russel Wilson, Daniel Jones, and what's his nuts from the browns clearing 40 million a year to do what? Be a leader? Doubt it. Provide a spark for the team? Nope. To win games? Try again. It's terrible to watch, I feel bad for the guys that've worked so much harder than some punk premadona quarterback that thinks he deserves "x" amount of money just because turdface over there set a new record per year.

[@deanladue5367]

It's somewhat out of character for the GB front office in a sense that Jones willingly took a paycut last off season to stay in GB. But then to be asked to take an even bigger one this off season tells me something. That they didn't want him there anymore.

[@FootballClubDavid_WI_USA]

If he is taking 7 instead of 6 he needs to consult with Greg Jennings asap. Its not worth going to a last place Vikings team with no QB and a OL that got weaker. Jones needs to fire his agent Drew Rosenhaus immediately.

[@ColeB4Diamond]

So many in conference sign and trades used to be a no-no. much more frequent now.

[@Squidette18]

Hey so much for being a true hardcore packer, players need to recognize they only as good as the people you play with. If you don’t have a decent O line you may not be so good Ahmund Green has explained it well it’s business side, and he also is behind the Josh Jacob deal.

I'm sure the 6 games he missed last year factored into this. Certainly Rosenhaus tends to over value his assets. Be interesting to see how durable he is in Mn. Still gonna miss the guy.

[@mikebelongia6697]

I hoped and thought Jones would have agreed to play on a team friendly contract, I can't blame him for wanting to get paid more and it does make sense for the Packers to move on if Jones wasn't willing to play for less. Sadly the NFL is a business and teams can't keep every player they want to keep.

[@cavemann6134]

As a packer fan, I hate the way we played Aaron Jones. He took a paycut once, but then we release him after he doesn't want to take another 1... Why did we give him that contract if we didn't want to pay him?

[@steve48]

Originally, I thought he was gonna go to the Cowboys Or maybe even the Lions. I totally forgot about the purple losers that copy the Packers but can never duplicate the success.

[@JR-tu4gd]

Only a million more?....let that sink in

[@tangyboi6420]

Here is the unfortunate reality. Jones played 11 games and rushed for 656 yards on 142 attempts. He is gonna be 30 years old. Since 1962 there has been about 25 running backs over the age of 30 to rush for 1000 yards. (16 game seasons for nearly all of them). If you look at the top 30 players by rush yards nearly all of them minus CMC, Henry, Gus Edwards, and Mostert are under the age of 26. Once Jacobs was paid i dont think the packers FO could justify a RB room over 16m a year with the draft capital we have, and the needs we have in other positions. Having to take a pay cut is the gut punch, not getting paid less. Jones hit FA and only made 1m more than what we offered and i think is a testament to the ability of our FO to evaluate player value internally. The offered him around the going rate of the league and he turned it down. Its really on Jones for (what i seems like) taking it personally. Each year our FO is going to do 100% of everything they can to get the packers cap space healthy and maximize every dollar and that means broken hearts sometimes.

[@phantp78]

Definitely liked and thought he would be green and gold for life. Definitely lost some respect for him putting on that purple.

[@edomarpez1840]

I think the real issue was a little more on the playing time than the money, although an overestimation from his agent doesn't sound too crazy. Either way, Aaron Jones deserved to be a Packer for life

[@Baltorocket]

They say it’s show business not friend business. The Packers a have always believed in letting a guy go too early rather than too late.

[@modernjosephus356]

[@theoriginalcake1038]

Players probably do not like Gutey. Regardless, he is doing a fantastic job of building another Superbowl caliber team very quickly. It's a harsh business decision but ultimately it was better for the organization and future of the team. Love Jones but I love the moves we made even more.

[@randomgrinn]

I don't care what people say. In the NFL, money is the only thing that matters the most. Take as much as you still can when you are still young. Because when you reach 28 and up, they will kick you out no matter how cool, good, royal and nice you are.

[@finessinlive]

I went to college near the bengals, and they’ve always been my favorite afc team. I was hoping Jones would at least go there. Had to think his choice to go to minnesota was spiteful, as I’m sure teams like Dallas/Texans/bengals/raiders/etc would all gladly give him 7mill vs what they ended up w

[@bradleyjacoby5412]

Honestly this makes me feel better. Was feeling down about it, but now ill see you when your inducted into the packers hof. No more praise for what you meant. Packers paid him top dollar for most of his career he is owed nothing now.

[@chadh.johnson3550]

Simple solution. Put everyone, GMs, Coaches, Players etc. and their salary into the salary cap. See how anxious some of these GMs are to take less of their salary this year so it can be pushed out into future years. Make no mistake, none of these guys take a salary cut. The NFLPA would never allow it. They agree to take less of their money this year but it only gets rolled into future years.Jones agreed to it last year to help the cap and the money was rolled into this year. Why his cap # was 17M this year. GB wanted to do it again without an extension but by adding void years. Jones said it's my last year under contract so give me my money I'm owed. GB said instead of the 17M cap hit we'll instead give you the true 12M you're owed and cut you to free up 5M in space. They are still going to pay him 12M this year, it's now dead cap. So he'll get 12M from GB and 7M from Minnesota. So in truth the Packers with Jones 12M and Jacobs 14.8M this year are paying 26.8M for 2 guys at RB and 1 isn't even on the team when all they had to do was eat 17M in cap space they agreed to last year with Jones. Don't forget last year they paid Rodgers over 40M to be on the Jets IR and they'll pay Bahktiari over 20M this year to play somewhere else. It's why Rodgers agreed to less with the Jets and Bahktiari will agree to take less wherever he ends up. In 2 years they'll pay over 70M for guys elsewhere.

[@raybrean9889]

It’s sad to see Aaron Jones go and sign with our bitter rival but he had the option to take a pay cut and stay but he decided to go instead. Josh Jacobs could be a beast in the cold weather and I think an Aaron Jones type of runningback will be drafted in the 3rd round. Now a decent vet linebacker and look ahead at the draft. We need a change of pace runningback, OLine, depth, edge depth, a slot cornerback, another safety, linebacker depth, and secondary depth. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛

[@khollern1]

Drew Rosenhaus played chicken and lost. I love Aaron Jones and, like so many former Packers, he'll have buyers remorse for singing with the Vikings and their new QB. A million dollars less to play with Jordan Love seems like a no brainer after the fact. I feel bad for #33. We're building toward something big and now he'll be watching at home after a 4-13 season...

If the packers originally offered 50%...their final offer was probably more than 50%... So, the vikings offer may be slightly more or less than the packers final offer. It's unfortunate if it was less because he will always be one of my favorite Packers. Remeber it is a business first...
