Judge amends, tightens bond restrictions on Packers' Jolly...

[red]

another court case that should have ended a long time ago

jolly doesn't seem like the smartest or most honest person in the world after this ruling. can't blame the judge for the new restrictions

[Joemailman]

Wouldn't be shocked if Jolly never plays again for the Packers. Moving Pickett to DE is about seeing if he is a viable replacement for Jolly. At best, Jolly probably gets suspended for the first 4 games this year anyway. TT may just decide he doesn't want a jerk like this on the team despite his obvious talent.

DE Johnny Jolly is an unsigned restricted free agent with a first-round tender ($2.521 million). The Packers could decide to withdraw their tender at any time, making Jolly an unrestricted free agent.

JJ was a risk even in round 6. Its unfortunate JJ still has too much "hood" in him.

Just another C. Hunt and Joe Johnson.

Aloha.

He has been better for the Packers than Johnson. And far less disappointing than Hunt. Hunt only ever played well in his contract year.

And unlike Joe Johnson and C. Hunt we never spent much money on Jolly.

Johnson we signed to a 6 year $33 million contract, of which we got 11 games over two years.

Hunt we signed to a 6 year $25 million contract, from which we got very little.

In his four years with the Packers we have paid Jolly $369,600; $365,160; $448,120; and $535,910. This year we are offering to pay him $2.521 million, which he has not agreed to and the Packers can rescind at any moment. If we to withdraw the tender immediately, we certainly would have already gotten our money's and our draft pick's worth out of what we've already gotten from Jolly.

Agreed that the Packers received their money's worth from JJ. My point is more the ending -- bad character stuff.

JJ batted down many passes and played well. Now is the time for JH to step-up.

Looks like 'Ole JJ might be needin' the services of 'Ole Cleedeeus' moving service!

This seems like a bit of an over-reaction, IMO.

He wasn't actually caught doing anything - he just had his picture on a flyer? They didn't even prove he violated parole!!!

Sure, he was dumb to get involved in the enterprise, but this seems like a pretty harsh slap for what he did.

Jolly's actions smack of flouting the ruling. Ignore a judge at your own peril, and if you do it publicly, expect the hammer to come down hard.

What are the chances - realistically - of the Packers signing and then trading Jolly to someone willing to take a chance? Say, oh, y'know, the Raiders?

If it's possible what would realistic compensation be?

A bag of footballs?

it wasn't just the pictures that got him in trouble

his lawyer shows up on his trial date and says the trial needs to be rescheduled because jolly was having emergency surgery to have his appendix removed. two days later this party happened and the pictures came out

i'm sure the judge feels he was lied to and is furious

I've removed an appendix at a party. The judge should cool down.
