Tonyan is a RFA Packers will likely place either the 1st round or 2nd round tender on him. They could do original round tender but since he was a UDFA packers would get no comp if he left.
 
CBS asked agent what he thought values were on players this is the write up on Aaron Jones.

Contract package: $65 million, five years ($13 million per year)

Overall guarantees: $35 million

Fully guaranteed at signing: $27.5 million

First three years: $40.5 million

Free agency hasn't been kind to running backs in recent years. Le'Veon Bell is the only one to get a lucrative contract. The Jets were essentially bidding against themselves during 2019 free agency when they signed Bell to a four-year, $52.5 million deal (worth up to $60.15 million through incentives and salary escalators) with $27 million fully guaranteed at signing -- a then veteran running back contract record for guarantees. The other high-priced running backs (Ezekiel Elliott, Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara, Christian McCaffrey, etc.) re-upped with their own teams. Bell is also a cautionary tale against spending big on a running back in free agency. The Jets released a disgruntled Bell five games into last season.

There are conflicting reports over what the Packers have offered Jones. According to ESPN's Rob Demovsky, Jones was offered top-five running back money. This would mean at least $12.5 million per year. The problem was the offer lacked substantial guaranteed money, which is customary in Green Bay veteran contracts. NFL Media's Ian Rapoport characterized Green Bay's offers as more than $9 million per year.

Jones had been one of the NFL's most productive running backs over the last two seasons. He is one of five running backs to reach 1,000 rushing yards consecutively. Jones has 3,017 yards from scrimmage (combined rushing and receiving yards) since 2019, which is the NFL's fifth-most during that span. His 25 rushing touchdowns rank third in the NFL.
