Veteran WR James Jones is visiting #Giants, I’m told. The hope for both sides is it’ll turn into a signing. More firepower for that offense
I really don't see how signing this guy is necessary

but if he's cheap so be it.
The god of dropped passes

At what he's likely to sign for

This would be a fantastic move. You can never have enough WR depth
good depth move  
Matt in SGS : 7/30/2015 5:41 pm : link
who is familiar with the type off offense McAdoo runs. Figure in that you have some injury concerns around Cruz and OBJ, not to mention Randle could go either way and regress, it's not a bad idea to have him in the mix.
Going to stick this for now

Agree about the depth  
Big Blue '56 : 7/30/2015 5:44 pm : link
signing if it comes to fruition
Does he play specials

Targeted 112 times had 73 catches & 5 drops  
Big Rick in FL : 7/30/2015 5:51 pm : link
666 yards & 6 TDs with a rookie at QB & no other offensive threats
Stapleton said Jones will likely visit Giants tomorrow

Very similar to the Jeromy Miles situation.

Veteran who is well-known to the coordinator, provides valuable insurance in case injuries or other mishaps hit a key position.

If everything goes perfectly, and the young guys are exactly what the Giants hope they are, there probably isn't a roster spot for Jones. But when was the last time everything went perfectly at any position?
Turned 31 not too long ago.

Would definitely be a solid depth signing imo

He's def a better 4th option then Parker, Washington, Davis & probably Harris.
Decent in that he's probably def in the mix from #4 on  
ChaChing : 7/30/2015 6:12 pm : link
looking at production he's much like Randle without upside tho likely a bit faster. And played for McAdoo. But I'd prefer him to the rest. Washington / Davis also have the upside but JJ is a proven quantity. A little fumblitis maybe but good value at this point

One Q, I assume not but can he play slot? Else it's Cruz, Parker (decent but not ideal), Harris who's unproven. Not much depth there even with a healthy VC

Agreed Rick
rotoworld saying he signed

1 year deal.

wow  
DavidinBMNY : 7/30/2015 6:29 pm : link
Probably the strongest position on paper if everyone was healthy just got stronger.
If he had a better QB  
Big Rick in FL : 7/30/2015 6:30 pm : link
He'd have had near 1000 yards & 10 TDs last year. One of my best friends is a Raiders fan so I watched a good amount of their games. Carr missed him A LOT

Also said he is a giant.
I like it as a depth signing

I wanted this guy 1-2 years ago  
djm : 7/30/2015 11:29 pm : link
But feared he'd cost too much for what he was worth. Now he's a little older but dirt cheap. He could do well here he's not that old yet.
