for all you James Jones fans...kick the tires?

Mike in St. Louis : 2/4/2016 8:38 am
"The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel expects the Packers to move on from free agent James Jones.

Beat writer Rob Reischel believes the Packers "figure to go with younger players" at wide receiver, parting with 32-year-old (in March) Jones. Although Jones was Aaron Rodgers' most reliable 2015 target, his separation skills were clearly lacking and Jones rarely makes plays after the catch. The Packers will welcome back Jordy Nelson (ACL) and Randall Cobb while Jeff Janis, Jared Abbrederis, Davante Adams, and Ty Montgomery vie for complementary roles."
Can we ban

the saying of "Kick the tires?" Dumbest thing that gets said about every free agent, coach and Front office personnel. JOnes had a good first 4 weeks of the season. After that he was not better then Rueben Randle.
That ship has sailed.

If we're going with the older veteran route, Michael Crabtree is right there.

Not now. He would have been an improvement over Preston Parker last September but makes little sense on this team now moving forward.

Crabtree signed an extension during the season.

Agreed, but I could see him coming to camp if no one else is interested. We really have nothing at WR after Beckham and Harris. Randle is gone, and everyone else is an unproven JAG, or an injured Cruz.

Well so much for that =)
my comment was meant to be...  
Mike in St. Louis : 2/4/2016 9:41 am : link
sarcastic (1) since someone always wants to kick the tires on every FA and (2) since half of BBI was in love with Jones...I don't want him either and had no problem cutting him last year...

maybe BBI needs to adopt a sarcasm emoji....
For a guy who's slow, old

Can't get open and drops the ball...

Why not?
We should ban the term "James Jones"  
KWALL2 : 2/4/2016 11:54 am : link
Guy sucks. As expected GB doesn't want him back at any price. Why? Because despite that "production" the guy was a liability. Just like he would have been with the Giants.

Nobody will sign Jones.
Too late now

There is a reason the packers are letting him go.
Shocked, SHOCKED

depends who else we end up with. Hopefully the don't count on Cruz this year.

If Randle is gone you need something ( hopefully better than JJ tho ).
