James Jones Has No Contract Offer From Packers

[3irty1]

where did you get those numbers, was it a site?

i've been looking for a site with accurate old combine numbers, not just nfldraftscout.com

I've got a google doc, most of the numbers from it came from nfldraftscout though.

Two times I can remember McCarthy designing a season's plan around a skill position focal point. Both times, that player was lost for most or all of the year. <sigh> What could have been...

Well, at least now I know what I will worry about this offseason that I have zero control over.

Based on what MM has said since season end, Lacy is doomed for next season.

I'm not worried about JJ leaving. TT is a boss when it comes to drafting WR's.

We have to factor in what they know about guys like Dorsey and Boykin and Myles "Standish" White.

But I am hoping they re-sign James Jones to a reasonable contract. He's a professional. I like the guy.

In the last 2 days we've had a Larry Hagman reference and a Miles Standish reference. This is why I love you guys.

I like Jones, but I think they will let him shop and draft a similar sized WR. It's a really good draft for WRs. He's turning 30, the FA class isn't bad, the draft is loaded, and GB has Boykin. Patler's right -- his timing is truly awful. I don't think he comes back unless the market is really cold, and if a contract from TT went over $2 yrs/5M I'd be surprised.

Someone mentioned Brandin Cooks. Super productive but a little small so I think he'd be insurance against Cobb leaving.
As for Cobb, at 5-10 he's a little small for playing a lot on the outside, especially when you have bigger bodies like Jordy and Boykin. His quickness is valuable in the slot and he should get a lot of favorable matchups there IMO. Jennings could play anywhere, and his route running and sneaky speed allowed him to play outside. I'm just not sure if Cobb can be as effective. I'd give him chances out there -- he's already had his share of injuries -- but I wouldn't plan for him to exclusively play the X.

Some have remarked that McCarthy doesn't use a lot of motion with the receivers. I kind of wish he would, especially against teams that like to play press, and with guys like Cobb you can move them around and really make a defense adjust.

standish was a pussy. how hard is it to defeat a bunch of natives that fight with rocks and sticks when you have swords, cannons,horses and muskets?

...and Larry Hagman had a curvy genie calling him Master.

I like that. Sneaky speed. It's so true. One minute he was jogging down the field, then next he's gone... but still with that same comfortable rhythm. Cobb's an arrow, a dart, a flash. He's a damn humming bird, jumping all over the place.

Alright, then, what's the Jordy Nelson comparison.

Riley Cooper's Extension May Raise Price for Packers' James Jones

" Greg Bedard of Sports Illustrated and theMMQB.com recently released his list of the top 100 free agents. Riley Cooper came in at 55 with Jones finishing ahead at 53. In his notes, Bedard described neither as number one receivers, an argument most will agree with. " Fr. Article

Probably true. I don't think JJ will get the same money Cooper did, he really stepped up when the Eagles had a shortage of WRs. I do think they're comparable, is this the market for #3WRs now? I'd put Cooper at #3, behind Maclin and DeSean. There are rumour that the Eagles are tired of Jackson and will move him though, so maybe they project him as a #2.

[Smeefers]

I think JJ is a star #2 reciever. The guy can easily catch 60 balls a year.

[woodbuck27]

I'd like James jones back on the team for the good insurance he offers the Packers; and especially considering FA in 2015; but somehow it looks like that's not likely to happen.

Overall James Jones has gifts that bring a lot to any NFL team thin at the WR position in a pass happy NFL.

James Jones and his excellent work ethic and attitude will find work elsewhere. ** Maybe the New York GIANTS will scoop him up with Ben McAdoo there now!? Other possible destinations ....Buffalo, Oakland or San Diego!?

** Anyone see this Blog?
