Its interesting to wonder whether or not the arrest of Johnny Jolly on Friday in Houston could alter the plans of the Green Bay Packers when it comes to free agency.

It was expected that the team was going to bid goodbye to defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins in free agency. That was when the Packers expected they would regain the services of Jolly this season after he completed a one-year suspension.

Now, Jollys future with the Packers looks to be in limbo. Police allegedly found 600 grams of codeine in his Cadillac Escalade Friday during a traffic stop. Jolly was arrested in Houston in 2008 and charged with felony drug possession when he had 200 milligrams of codeine. He received a deferred prosecution provided he completed a court program that, obviously, hinges on him staying out of trouble. Otherwise, he faces 20 years in jail.

As Kareem Copeland of the Green Bay Press-Gazette speculates, the potential loss of Jolly could lead the Packers, who typically are very conservative in free agency, to reconsider plans for Jenkins, who is projected to be one of the top defensive free agents available when the labor battle is resolved.

Jenkins had seven sacks in only 11 games last season and has been a consistent performer for the Packers. But hes 30 and general manager Ted Thompson might not be inclined to invest in a player with that kind of mileage, even one he knows well. Still, if the Packers were hoping the return of the talented Jolly could mitigate the loss of Jolly, now they could be looking at having neither in 2011.

It might suddenly make the defensive line a position of higher priority in the draft for the Packers, a spot where theyve hit with guys like B.J. Raji and missed with guys like Justin Harrell.

This should make things more interesting with Cullen Jenkins. Ted got him for a bargain last time (4 yrs, 16 million). Cullen might be looking for his final big pay day (Tennessee, Washington, Seattle, Cleveland).

Looking at our d-linemen and their ages:

31- Pickett*
32- Green
30- Jenkins*
27- Harrell
24- Raji*
23- Wilson
23- Neal
24- Wynn
23- Ross

I think it would be a good idea to lock up Jenkins. He's proven he's is a difference maker IF healthy. But that is a big IF. An incentive laden contract with BIG money based on playing time might be in the best interest of both parties.

Cullen gets his $7-8 million per season IF he stays healthy.

I'd miss Mr. T!

Remember when we people were talking about Jolly coming back and I said I didn't want him because he was a drug dealer and didn't think he would change? No? Ok then. I do. Good thing I'm above bringing that kind of thing up and saying "Told you so." Good thing.....

I've always taken Jolly's side. The original bust was bullshit. Four black guys sitting in a car? Does that equal probably cause? The "smell" of codeine? (It's odorless.)
But this bust is 100% stupidity on Jolly's part. Nice knowing you, bitch.

I was looking forward to getting Jolly back. It seems like most players come back from stuff like this, once they realize where the real money is. I thought that maybe he wasn't such a bad dude, but had just fallen in with the wrong crowd. Now it's obvious that he IS the wrong crowd. Very disappointing. His future is very dim, but it's clearly his own fault. His NFL career is probably over. All that hard work down the drain.

Good point. Cullen is actually an elite player. But that's the big IF (his health).

I'm sure they'd want to lock him up if it wasn't for that. With Jolly gone, maybe we should lock up Cullen & keep our fingers crossed. Between Jenkins, Raji, and of course Matthews, we're getting our sacks.
