Agent @DrewJRosenhaus says it’s a $13M signing bonus. Jones stays in Green Bay, rather than head into free agency where other offers awaited. https://t.co/BRcp50lIJA

Is Green Bay giving a running back a $48 million deal a really good idea? It’s the most replaceable position in the league, and RBs get hurt all the time.
Potentially tying up $48 million in a running back seems like a very dangerous game for the Packers to be playing.

Now, Jones is definitely one of the best running backs in the league. The man is very talented and he plays a huge role in the offense to take some pressure off quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The man is an asset, but I’m not sure committing this kind of cash to the running back position is necessary or smart.
