I don't really think this is a matter of people wanting to "get rid" of players. Simply looking at the numbers. Are we really going to keep 7 WRs this year? That is fine with me as long as they aren't putting another position at risk with too little depth - but that's impossible IMO. So, who carries the most trade value? Who could we afford to part with? Do we want to wait and just cut a player and get nothing in return?

Hey, if the coaches were behind this, the discussion could be about Jennings instead, and I would be fine with that too. If the staff evaluates the upcoming talent to be ready to step in and contribute at a high level, maybe that is a move that has to be considered. Do I want to get rid of Jennings? Jones? No. I like them all. This is strictly about numbers.

As much as I like Jones, I would trade his hands for Gurley's. If he has the rest of it to go along.

Same with Driver.

However, Cobb is a second-year player and Driver’s skills are regressing. In addition, Jermichael Finley's durability is somewhat of a question mark. There's some pros in moving Jones, but also many cons. I have a ton of faith in Cobb, so I think I see more pros than cons. Jones is also better than Driver. That's what I don't get. Did they choose Driver over Jones? Perhaps the Packers are looking to depart with the wrong receiver.

Not to change the subject, but damn Cobb is explosive! He should easily pass Jones up as #3 this year. He'll at least challenge for #2 imo.

They're also saying Diondre Borel is looking as explosive. That, I will have to see for myself.

After last year, Jordy Nelson is entrenched as this team's No. 2. I do agree that he should challenge James Jones. Perhaps the Packers are projecting Cobb’s ascension up the depth chart themselves; otherwise trading Jones doesn't make a ton of sense.

You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. It’s a business.
