Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Jones is owed a contract at the end of this season. Jones is going to get paid. The question is will he get paid like a running back has recently or will he try to get Ezekiel Elliott, Christian McCaffery money? It is unknown what the negotiations were with the team. But those have been thrown out the window. Jones fired his agent on Sunday, and now has Drew Rosenhaus, the Miami super agent, as his new representation. Adding Rosenhaus is the NFL’s version of adding Scott Boras for a baseball player. Rosenhaus loves people overpaying for his guys.

Let’s get positive first before heading negative. Rosenhaus was the agent for Sam Shields. If you remember, Shields needed a new deal. Packers were back and forth whether to give Shields that contract. And right before free agency started, Green Bay got a reasonable deal done with Shields. No one had any real complaints about that deal at the time. Now, that was Ted Thompson and others around him making that happen. Hopefully, Russ Ball and Brain Gutekunst can use that contract or others that are Rosenhaus clients to build a framework.

The negative part of this is Jones likely got new representation because he wanted a deal done and now is frustrated so he wants to look elsewhere. The discussion was that Jones’ agents and the Packers were at a stalemate. Who knows what Jones wants at this time. He could be frustrated by David Bakhtiari getting paid. The lack of carries could be annoying him as well. People only move on from agents when they feel a change is needed. Jones wants to shake up the apple tree which doesn’t exactly mean good things for Green Bay.

If Green Bay does lose Jones in free agency, it’s imperative that find a new version of him in the draft. Repeat what you did with Jones and Jamaal Williams (Also a free agent) with A.J. Dillion plus a shifter running back, you’re set. But losing Jones would be a major loss for this team. We’ll see what happens.
