I'm very surprised that after two good years JJ doesn't seem to be getting any attention at all in FA. With Nelson and Cobb he finds himself at #3, or even #4 on the depth chart, but I would think he could be a possible #2 on a few teams around the league.

I`d bet a small amount of money that very soon we`ll learn that James Jones has signed as a Carolina Panther wide receiver. The Panthers are hurting bad now at that position after having lost four top WR`s from their roster.

This looks like James Jones best opportunity to get a fair to very good contract. If Russ Ball ( Vice Pres. of Football Administration and Finance ...Green Bay Packers ) and Packer GM Ted Thompson `ìn fact`do value James Jones they might kick into gear .... now.

Otherwise I believe it`s more than just likiely that the Packers UFA WR James Jones will move to another organization and it sure looks like the Carolina Panthers are the team up first in he and his agents minds.



HAPPY St. Patricks Day Guiness ! and ALL Packerrats that have `the Irish`in them. Have a great St. Patrick`s Day Packerrat leprechauns.

which brings in the old question i mentioned awhile back

would it be better for the team to re-sign jones for 2 or 3 million a year , then give a big deal to either nelson or cobb and trade the other one, instead of letting jones walk and giving huge deals to both nelson and cobb?

If both Cobb and Nelson are going to pull down in the $8M range, maybe. I think Nelson is there or close, not so sure Cobb is, but this coming year could change that. Arizona did it for a couple of years, having Fitz and Boldin both making big $$$ at the same time, but I can't think of any other examples. Sometimes teams will have two #1s because one of them is on his rookie contract - like the Pack with Driver and Jennings for a couple of years - but I think it's pretty hard to pay both of them.

those options don't add up, salary-cap wise. Still, try to keep Nelson, then Cobb (if he wants ridiculous money, forget it), then draft.

The receiver situation is why I think there is a very good chance Thompson goes receiver #1 or #2 or both.

so you're saying, let jones walk AND maybe cobb too?

in that case i still don't know if you go WR at #1, TT is so good at finding receiver talent in the second round on down

why not? Jones is replaceable; Boykin may already be that guy. Or one of the seventh rounders from last year. Now you have to worry about how much Nelson and Cobb want combined. You just may not have that kind of wiggle room. So you draft a rookie or two that can replace one of them. Life moves on.

kinda becomes a case of "who makes who"

does a QB with a-rods talents really need expensive wr's, or can he make average wr's look great

or, if a-rod is surrounded by average targets, would he look not so good?

its a valid idea, but i'd be scared about "dipping", like we did back when we thought favre could make anyone look good, and bill schroeder was our top target.

imho, we can't afford for our offense to "dip" at all

[smuggler]

One of the 7th rounders from last season is on the Browns right now. (Charles Johnson)

Dorsey is still with us, but there are a ton of good WRs in the draft, and if we pick one before the 5th round, there's a reasonable chance Dorsey won't make the team next year.

[gbgary]

the longer he goes unsigned the better his chance to being resigned by us...unless tt really HAS soured on him for whatever reason.

[red]

just feel bad for the guy, he's had to resort to begging for teams to talk to him, and they still won't

he's a better player then that

[denverYooper]

He won't feel so bad when he gets another ring with GB.

[gbgary]

maybe it's that SB drop. EVERYBODY saw that. maybe that's what they remember.

Now he's a Raider.
