Why didn't we go after Aaron Jones?

[rambo2]

Next to Sasquatch Barley, I wanted Aaron Jones with a star on his helmet.

I'm still not a fan of Elliott and still think he's lots his speed. We are paying Elliott $3 million this year.

While Aaron Jones is getting 3.5 million. I don't know why we didn't even look at Jones at all. Elliott is Elliott. He can't break tackles and has lost his speed. Our run game will end up biting us this season because we went with Elliott and not look at other alternatives.

Can't break tackles?

Aaron Jones signed a 1 Year, $7,000,000 contract with the Minnesota Vikings on March 12, 2024. The contract runs through the 2024 season and has an average annual value of $7,000,000. It also came with a $4,000,000 signing bonus and $7,000,000 guaranteed.


Ezekiel Elliott signed a 1 year , $2,000,000 contract with the Dallas Cowboys, including $375,000 signing bonus, $1,625,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $2,000,000

They did not get the same deal.

Forget that. Why did we draft liufau over marshawn Lloyd or the kid from Tennessee. Liufau had 9 snaps out of 70. I did not like the pick then I don't like it now

You'll like it when we need him. How many yards do those backs have so far?

 

[quickccc]

1) Price (Jones cheap as hell and Jones departed GB in a contract dispute.
2) AJ as a lead runner was not our scheme fit for this bell cow/between tackles power-oriented like offense
3) his age 29, due to be age 30 in December
4) Jones is not the most durable of backs, he's gonna miss games or be limited.

hard to pass up 2 yards in a cloud of dust....

4 yards and a cloud of dust thank you

They are both drafted to stacked rb rooms. Lloyd currently has a blown hamstring. Still doesn't change the fact that liufau will barely play and if we were gonna go lber it should have been Peyton wilson

He is playing more than those backs are.

Not for long. The kid Wright will probably see some time for miami this week. Imagine cucking for jerry and Stephen in every post lol

Or Mixon

I can't believe it either. We could've still signed Zeke too for short yardage and pass pro

 

[ICP]

The Jones Boys don't play that way.

 

[EPL0c0]

I think he signed 1 year 7 mil contract - but yes they could have made him an offer - still looks pretty good.

growing up in Texas, having gone to school at UTEP... Good chance Aaron takes a little less to play in Dallas.

I wanted Dallas to draft him, even with Zeke on the roster in 2017

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Why? Because idiot Jerry has once again overpaid for a QB who can't win in the playoffs.

They had cap space for Aaron Jones if they wanted. You can cry about this all you want but it doesn't make you right.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

They didn't sign Jones because they do not believe in speed on offense. It's stupid roster building.

You need to ask JJ about that. It's his money.

Well yeah, how could we pass up a deal like that?

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I get that people have their plans for how to fix the Cowboys.

Stephen Jones has talked at length about both how they do not value the RB or VFA.

The discussion should be about that policy as opposed to asking why they did not do as you would do.

Too Cheap

There was money left. We could still redo contracts. It's idiot jerry

Only real fans realize this!!!

So basically a real fan is someone who needs others' thoughts along with Sports Center highlights to be able to then form their own opinion?


I am not a real fan, I guess...
