The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys have several offensive weapons. While most observers were dubious about the Packers’ offensive entering the 2023 season, many of those doubters were silenced by the end of the season. The Packers finished 7-3 in their final ten games, including a huge playoff victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
The playoff loss still stings in Dallas, but they may exact “revenge” by targeting one of the Packers’ finest players.
The Green Bay Packers must exercise caution with one of their best players.
According to BVM Sports, Aaron Jones could end up joining the Dallas Cowboys:
The Cowboys, who are still suffering from a playoff loss to the Packers, may have an opportunity to bolster their roster by obtaining Aaron Jones as the Packers consider releasing him.
BVM deconstructed the scenario even further:
By The Numbers
Jones agreed to a pay cut last offseason to help the Packers meet their cap space needs.
Jones had a great 2023 season, finishing sixth in yards after contact per rush attempt and earning an 81.5 rushing grade.
State of Play
If the Packers do indeed release Aaron Jones, the Cowboys might potentially get him for a reasonable cost.
Jones has excelled against the Cowboys throughout his professional career, demonstrating his talent and value to the organization.
Will the Packers move on from Aaron Jones or let him walk to the Dallas Cowboys?
During the NFL scouting combine, Packers officials met with Aaron Jones’ agent to discuss a salary cap drop that would alleviate the team’s financial burden in the final year of his contract.
According to a source, the Packers and Drew Rosenhaus are discussing a figure to meet the team’s goal to reduce the salary cap hit. Further conversations will be required to establish how they would cut the pay cap.
Bottom line: They want him back.
If the two cannot reach an agreement within two weeks, the Packers may let him walk and hope that their offer is not matched elsewhere. As a result, the organization will have to work with Rosenhaus to find a solution to cut the cap while avoiding losing him to another team.
Jones has often demonstrated the importance of his role in the Packers’ offense. The Packers’ front team will continue to prioritize keeping him in Green Bay.
