The Facts: While the Packer's future at QB remains murky, Jones believes the status of the backfield is crystal clear. "I feel good where I'm at with the team," Jones said Friday. "I talked to (general manager Brian Gutekunst), he came out and said they want me back. Maybe a restructure or whatever, maybe, but they want me back there. To be wanted is a great feeling."
Diehards Line:
Jones is coming off his third 1,000-yard rushing season in the last four seasons, but he enters 2023 with a $20 million cap hit, just under $3.3 million more than Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott, who has the league's second largest cap number at the position. If the Packers do bring Jones back with a restructured contract, the 28-year-old has his eyes on the Packers' all-time rushing record after moving into the No. 3 spot with 5,284 yards in 2022. He now sits 3,038 rushing yards behind Ahman Green. "That would be a blessing," Jones said about someday capturing the franchise record. "I made it up to three this year. I think the top two are like 8,000. So, I still got a little bit to go, but like you said, that is definitely one of my goals. If I'm there long enough I feel like I can definitely hit that."
