I'm sure it was. If Aaron wanted to play for $5 mil Gute would have kept him. Not saying Jones is greedy at all. Simply saying money always gets in the way.

Based on James Jones comments, Nelson wanted to sign the low ball offer and come back, and Gute met with Nelson, sort of suggesting they're moving on, and Jones and others were telling Nelson you can't do it, go find the money and a place you are wanted.

Gute supposedly wanted Adams the ability to step up into the #1 WR role, and with the Rodgers/Nelson connection (at least in Gute's mind) was holding that back.


But yeah, Jones contract was at something like $17 million, that needed to be reduced. To what degree, and what degree both sides were willing to go to is unclear.

As for Aaron Jones. I've always like the person more than the player. The player just isn't reliable or dependable.

You fucked up Gute.
You're the reason there was still 17mil left on Aaron's contract.
Why you don't let people know that 12mil of that money is going to have to be paid as "dead cap money" either this year or next/ or split between the 2.

You just cut the heart and soul right out of This Packers Team.

For what, a few million that you had to spend?

FUCK YOU GUTE!!!!!

It ain't over. It's just that Rosenhaus is negotiating for him now.

Plus Jones is older.
