I believe that's for less than what he reportedly turned down earlier, which was supposively a top 5 RB contract in terms of $$$$ per year of $12.5 million per year.
This is $12 million per year, ties him with Joe Mixon for 6th highest RB contract.
So possibile lost $2 million or $0.5 per year by waiting and exploring options.
Not horrible, similar things happened with DE Jenkins and WR Jennings, though Jennings ended up talking his way into more, via talking to the owner and divisional battle for his service.
Also, I feel like this system will maximum Jones more than others, and it's nice to have one quick back and one power back, though I wish Jones had more straight line speed. And watching AJ Dillion's highlights of last year, defenders kept going low, over and over again.... Dillons legs might not last 10 years in the league.
Also, I wonder how this would of compared to franchise tagging Jones a couple of years.
Now, I used the Packers can only afford to bring in, maybe one outside FA.
Jared Cook or DL, or CB?
