During an appearance on NFL Network Tuesday, Aaron Jones said that conversations with the team are ongoing.

“Yes, they definitely are. My agent and them are taking care of that. I’m gonna focus on football,” Jones said.

Related players: Jamaal Williams, A.J. Dillon

The team drafted Dillon this past spring but we just posted a news story said Dillon will likely remain the team's RB3. The story said the two sides were talking back in May.

Don’t expect A.J. Dillon to unseat Jamaal Williams anytime soon.

The story said people have been mesmerized by Dillon’s stature, especially his tree-trunk quads, but Williams can catch the football. Dillon hasn’t shown yet that he can in a game. Running backs coach Ben Sirmans said that’s the biggest difference between the two. In Matt LaFleur’s offense, you’d better be able to catch if you’re a running back, and that’s why Williams won’t drift away just yet, the story all said.

Josh Jacobs said he would like to have 60 receptions this season. He should easily double last year’s 20, but some fantasy experts and national writers got a little stressed out when the Raiders signed veteran Theo Riddick over the weekend.

As the story points out, Riddick is a nice pass-catching back who once caught 80 balls for the Lions, but was on the couch before the Raiders signed him. The story feels Riddick is there for depth only. Jacobs' reception potential is a big question for potential owners in PPR leagues this season.
