Robert Hunt gets 5 years/$100 million ($63 million guaranteed) from the Panthers.
The guard market is nuts.

So much for Ron Wolfe's theory that guards are a dime a dozen.

If takes Jones over Jacob's eight days a week. Better runner. Better receiver. Better team leader.

Don't get this move at all.

The season doesn't start for a few months. It might make sense later on. Sounds like Jones was slated to make $12M and wasn't interested in restructuring.

29 vs. 26.  Injured vs cowbell.

Not saying this is a good idea, but he is younger, and Jones wouldn't restructure his deal. Will need to see what the cap hit is on the Jacobs' deal.

In a day that has seem some odd moves (in my opinion), this is the one that is ridiculous.

The Panthers, who also are in the market for a center, are desperate to improve the middle of their line to help Young. Their GM and coach have cited the way the Saints did that to make life easier for Brees.

Hunt was supposedly their #1 target, and now it looks like they got him. Super Bowl here we come!

The Panthers? Making a ridiculous move? C'mon now!

Well thats a bummer on AJ

[The Sultan]

Well thats a bummer on AJ

Completely replaceable.

[PGsHeroes32]

Well, since Kirk was able to get 4 damn years. Def had to move on.

It was 2 years or bust for Vikes.

Let's see if they actually have the balls to properly swing big and draft a good QB.

29 vs. 26.  Injured vs cowbell.

Huh?

Both have played 73 regular season games in the last 5 years.

Jones YPC for his CAREER is better than Jacobs has had in any SEASON in the League.

Jones is a better receiver by far and a better blocker protecting the QB.

The only thing in Jacobs favor is age and as Jones showed at the end of the season, he hasn't lost anything.

Packers sign Xavier McKinney.
Big upgrade from Darnell Savage.

[Jockey]

Completely replaceable.

I think that is about as true as 'FT no matta'.

If he is completely replaceable, why sign a guy like Jacobs who is even more replaceable? Just use the draft and go cheap.

[CreightonWarrior]

Completely replaceable.

Doesn't mean you can't like the guy and his impact in the locker room.

Xavier McKinney is an upgrade though,

Jacobs is more replaceable than AJ Dillion? 

[cheebs09]

Jacobs is more replaceable than AJ Dillion?

I think he meant AJ as Aaron Jones.

OOOOHHHHHH.....

That makes A LOT more sense. I thought people were going a little nutso here.

[Uncle Rico]

Do like the Xavier McKinney signing but with usual caveats such as what's the real money

Aaron was on the injury list just about every week last season with a leg injury, mostly hamstring as he was the season before. He is breaking down and the wrong side of 26. 162 touches last year versus  270 for Josh (and the Raiders held him out the last few games). Josh had a similar amount of receptions as Jones over the past three seasons.

Jacobs deal is reportedly 4 years/$48 million, but only $12.5 million guaranteed.

Wow...that's...not a lot.

[Pakuni]

Gardner Minshew to Vegas.
One less landing spot for Fields.

Not sure Minshew makes a ton of sense for Vegas. Not a long-term answer, and if they're drafting someone, O'Connell seems a capable backup.

[cheebs09]

Wow...that's...not a lot.

I've read that it's very similar to the deal Jones signed in 2021. Will be interesting to see who else they get at RB.

Makes me feel a bit better.
