Nerdy Football Analysis: It’s been reported that Green Bay wanted Jones to take roughly a 50% pay cut as he was set to make roughly $12 million. Jones (29) will now wear purple and likely share running back duties with Ty Chandler. He was battling hamstring injuries most of 2023 but did finish the season with five-straight 100-yard rushing games.

Two-year, $8 million deal for Moss

The #Bengals have agreed to terms with RB Zack Moss on a two-year, $8 million deal, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. The deal includes $4.525 million in the first year for Moss, who cashes in after showing what he could do in Jonathan Taylor’s absence last year. (Mike Garafolo on X)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Moss played in a workhorse role last season while Jonathan Taylor missed time, and proved to be a valuable contributor. He’ll pair with second-year player Chase Brown who has more burst but is best suited for a change-of-pace role. Trayveon Williams and Chris Evans are also on the roster. One player who isn’t’ on the roster anymore is Joe Mixon, who was released today. Mixon (27) posted 1410 total yards and 12 TDs last season playing in all 17 games for the Bengals.

One-year deal

Compensation update: Jacoby Brissett’s deal with the #Patriots is one-year, $8 million worth up to $12M with incentives, per sources. (Tom Pelissero on X)

Nerdy Football Analysis: The Patriots shipped Mac Jones to the Jaguars and now have their bridge quarterback in case they don’t like their options at QB in the upcoming draft where they have the No.3 pick or want their rookie to take a back seat and learn in 2024. Brissett (31) has played 8 seasons in the NFL, including last year with the Commanders where he saw action in just two games. He started his career off in New England as a rookie back in 2016.

Commanders replace Antonio Gibson with Austin Ekeler

Likely to share time with Brian Robinson Jr.

It’s a 2-year, $11.43M deal for Austin Ekeler to the #Commanders, sources tell @BleacherReport – as first reported by @AdamSchefter. (Jordan Schultz on X)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Earlier in the day, Antonio Gibson agreed with the Patriots on a three-year deal leaving a void in the Washington running back room. Quickly, the Commanders signed Ekeler on a relatively cheap deal. He’ll pair nicely with Brian Robinson Jr. but isn’t likely to be the fantasy stud we’ve seen him be with the Chargers. Ekeler’s efficiency dipped last season as he was bothered by an ankle injury while scoring just 6 touchdowns.
