I am bummed that I agree.

The Green Bay Packers have a difficult decision to make with prolific running back Aaron Jones.

I say PAY THE MAN!
He’s been a huge part of our offense. Just because some RBs burned out doesn’t mean he will.
There are plenty of examples of guys who carried the load that didn’t burn out.
Look at your favorite guy, Kevin. Barry Sanders WAS the Lions offense for years. Emmitt Smith too. And many other over the years.
So to let such a valuable guy walk because he MIGHT burn out is short sighted.

It's not just Gurley, a good number of the RBs have bet very talented and then suddenly dropped off a cliff.

You need to be careful with paying RBs the bug bucks and especially being able to get out of the contract easily if it's not going your way.

But we need a good RB, especially in this scheme which basically has the RB take pressure off the QB and ask both to be the play makers (especially the RB).

But you still need to be careful as we've seen the Rams and 49ers (same scheme) get stuck with RBs contracts that they certainly weren't happy with... same with the Falcons and Cardinals...

The Packers have Jones and a good passing game. If they can add another good WR and TE, and shore up some defense weakness, it could be one heck of a season coming up.,...if there IS a season, of course.

I don’t see Jones as that kind of person. If he remains healthy, I believe he will give his all to be the best he can be.
You develop players. If you let them go when they have become excellent at their position, what’s the sense? It’s not like Jones is over the hill. And if they can pick up a few offensive weapons, that should take some pressure off Jones, and make his career longer.
AND make teams not key on him so much.

I don't believe you need an elite running back to enhance your chances of a Super Bowl win. You need an effective running back and I define that as someone who is not a liability in the passing game (pass protection and receiving), someone who gets positive yards consistently and is not a turnover machine. I think of backs like Edgar Bennett, James Starks, Dorsey Levens, Ryan Grant, etc ... reliable workhorses who weren't top 10 running backs, but kicked ass.
