James Jones is a Packer

[7thFloorRA]

I'm going with 82 or 11

 

[7thFloorRA]

Sounds like Myles White is out.

 

[TeamTundra]

Yep, Rob Demovsky is reporting that Myles White is being cut to make room for
James Jones.

84 belongs to Abbrederis. Current available WR #s are 10, 11, 13, 80, 82 and 85.

I confess a weakness for guys who take #13...it bespeaks a chip on the shoulder.

Evidence to back up that claim: #13 was Donald Driver's number as a rookie before he switched to 80.

That's would not be particularly unexpected; it also would not be entirely unregrettable.

FYI, James Jones will wear his old No. 89, Richard Rodgers switches to 82.

 

[TJV]

Nice of RR to let him have his old number.

 

[Munch]

Welcome back JJ.

 

[Snoops]

Even if he is on the p s

 

[Robert Mason]

Packers waived wide receiver Myles White.

 

[thepackers1fan4]

He did. Then turned into a giant D-bag when he left

So true, and now look at his career... a joke haha

 

[thepackers1fan4]

It wouldn't break my heart if Jennings only comes to Lambeau on another team to get his butt stomped. He talked too much crap about the Packers then when the Vikings cut him he tried to make nice.

Yeah the things he said when he left were ridiculous.

 

[Packer Fan in SD]

I have no real idea of the total impact he will have, but I, for one, am extremely happy and relieved he came back. Have a good year 89!

 

[HardRightEdge]

It's not unusual for money to change hands in this situation. Evidently, Jones was not so attached to the number to pay for it and Rodgers asked for nothing. So, yeah, nice of RR, and he gets to reset as the starter (we presume) with a fresh "identity".

Glad to see James Jones back in a Packer uniform!

 

[Section444]

Not a bad little signing.

 

[Joe Nor Cal Packer]

Cobb is a slot guy, Montgomery is a slot guy and Janis isn't ready yet. Bring in James Jones, we need atleast someone to pair on the outside with Davante.

Exactly right. The opponents can't overload on Adams. If they do, Rodgers will find Jones. I admit it, bringing him back was a good move. The Giants owe us anyway.

Yeah at first I didn't know what to think, but I think bringing Jones back is one of the best things we could have done.
Super Bowl 50 here we come.

James Jones signed a one-year, $870,000 deal with the Packers. Because of the veteran minimum benefit the contract will only result in a cap hit of $585K.

Ted has done similar one-year deals with ex-Packers before, notably Ryan Grant and Mark Tauscher.

That and it'll make it harder for the safety to sit on the seam/slot routes, the Jones Adams tandem will force most teams to drop both safeties... assuming Jones regains his old form and Adams has taken a step forward. I don't see Adams commanding the sorts of double teams necessary to open things up for Cobb like like Nelson even if he has improved.

Ajman Green as well. Came back and set the rushing record.

 

[Fozastuta]

We have a Quarter Back who can bring very best out of any decent but out of form WR. Mark my words, Jones will be far better here than he was with the Giants.

Well, he didn't play a single meaningful game for them so that shouldn't be hard to accomplish.
