    I'm still a little bitter how Jennings left, so screw him.
    Yup. GJ is a turd. JJ comported himself like a pro and a gentleman.

      I think the gist of what Carolina Packer Fan said is true - TT doesn't bring guys back for a second tour of duty. The one exception would be Matt Flynn, who not only came in as a mid-season emergency replacement, but also stuck around for another year after getting a Bruce Wilkerson 'saved our bacon' reward contract.

      Has there been anyone else?

        Charlie Peprah! He spent some time in Atlanta between two stints in GB.

Flynn and Green were both injury replacements during the season, like Grant, but yes, they were asked back as well. I can't think of anyone who went away and was signed back during this period of the league year.
            Montgomery signed with MN as a FA in 2010, but was released in the final cutdown. When GB lost Neal, Barnett and some others, Montgomery was signed near mid season for a few weeks., then was released.

              They save 3.5M and want to give their younger guys more playing time..makes sense. Look for Jones to sign with the Pats or Panthers soon.

                Dolphins or Browns.
                Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                  I don't think they save anything cutting Jones. It's money they will have to spend anyway. I think they are still way, way under the minimum cap. So the question becomes; Is the $3.5 M better spent on Jones, or someone else? $3.5M isn't a lot, and Jones reportedly is a great locker room presence and a great team mate. A good influence on the younger receivers.

                      i really feel bad for the guy, he busts his ass and keeps his head down and nose clear, and he just does what he's asked.

                      we didn't even offer him a contract last year, we only offered him a 1 year deal the year before, and now he gets cut after one year with the raiders

                      he deserves better

                        Tauschser got a return pass during TT's watch, right?

                        How long does McKenzie get a career mulligan in Oak?

                        They've totally sucked during his regime with little hope of getting any better.

                          I was thinking the same thing.

                          A good guy who never got the huge deal.

                          JJ was great at getting sneaky open and scoring TD's

                          Anybody who snags 14 touches has to have some value somewhere.

                            I would love to see him come back, especially if they could get him at a good value. However they made no effort to keep him, so I'm sure it won't happen.

                              Jones is a good guy to have around if your WR corps lacks veteran presence. He's been around the block and is still capable, but not great. He can show the youngsters in the right direction and instill some work ethic and character in a team, but not a team like Green Bay. His assets are already provided by others here...
