Now I hope we sign James Jones.

I hope I'm not overreacting. I was kinda "eh" on JJ before. Vikes just signed Michael Jenkins, so that MIGHT take JJ out of the running. Could also mean JJ wants too much $$$. I figured if we could get him cheap he would be good to sign, but figured he'd be too expensive. As long as he didn't go to another North team, I'd be fine.

But man, that Philly D looks stacked. We need all the good receiving we can get against their secondary and pass rush. Ted Thompson cleared up quite a bit of cap room (around 17 mil last I read.)

What do you think? Should we pursue Jones more aggressively in response to Philly's offseason?

James Jones.

Anyhow, yes, I'm hoping the Packers sign James Jones too. I leaned towards signing James Jones over retaining Donald Driver out of the gate.

I think we should re-sign Jones but not cause of other team actions. I really do think giving your QB as much as targets possible could destroy any defense. IMO Jones & Ted are discussing a good contract to please both parties, why else would it take so much time to resign?

As far as I can remember, only one team bought a Super Bowl. That was the 94 49ers. The 07 Patriots attempted to do the same thing and came close.

Yes, the Eagles are putting that theory to test this season, but I feel as good about the Packers as any team in football.

We should pursue James Jones on his own merit.

My personal

OPINION

is that we should pursue him very strongly. I'm hating the Eagles right now, they seem to be attempting to buy a Super Bowl, seem to be incredibly successful at creating a certain momentum and synergy in the attempt, seem to be scamming the rest of the league, etc.

If we have a good year (and they do also) - we will just have to see about all that. It's a brand new year, and I like my talent, even though it wasn't bought elsewhere. 👍

Who is better right now, James Jones or Donald Driver?

It's really close.

Who's better in two years?

It's got to be Jones.

I'm starting to think that the Pack should not keep Driver if it means losing Jones. Ask Donald to re-neg to a more team friendly deal, and keep Jones in the fold.

Then use the rest of the money to lock up Sitton, and if Finley stays healthy until week 10, we lock him up too.

I'd have to say James Jones, considering his younger / faster / less injury

Zero2Cool (2h) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
