The Lass Word: Can Dillon Really Replace Aaron Jones Next Year?

If running back Aaron Jones was going to re-sign with the Packers, I feel sure it would have happened by now. Jones’ hiring of high-powered agent Drew Rosenhaus to represent him is a clear indication he wants top dollar for a new contract. The Packers simply don’t have the cap room to pay it.

It is a popular contention among Packer fans that AJ Dillon was drafted to replace Jones in 2021. But is that realistic? If Jones (and likely Jamaal Williams as well) depart for free agency, can Dillon step right in and provide the same elements to the offense?
