The Facts: The Packers don’t often use the franchise tag. Green Bay is the only team that hasn’t used the tag from 2011-2020. In his Tuesday press conference, GM Brian Gutekunst said there isn’t an organizational philosophy against tagging players. And with Jones about to become an unrestricted free agent, Green Bay may use either the franchise or transition tag to keep him in Wisconsin. “We certainly could. I think it’s something we’re working through,” Gutekunst said.
Diehards Line:Jones was selected for his first Pro Bowl in 2020, after rushing for 1,104 yards and nine touchdowns in the regular season. He also caught 47 passes for 355 yards with a pair of TDs. Jones and Jamaal Williams will both become unrestricted free agents in a couple weeks. But last year’s second-round pick A.J. Dillon could take on a larger role if Green Bay elects to move on from its top two backs in 2020.
