He has really soft hands, but seems to make the difficult catches look easy and then buffles up the easy ones.

If Bennett can help our WR with their fumbling as much as he helped our RBs, our team will have an incredible take-aawy ratio. I'm all for keeping Jones unless it means losing Finley or Sitton in the future.

All those undrafted wide receivers the Packers just signed can't be too happy to hear that the team is trying to retain the services of Jones.

Of course, the team could be simply bluffing, trying to raise his perceived value on the trade market too.

This is my concern as well. IMO Sitton has to be the biggest concern for next year/mid season extension. Then Finley if the first half or so of the season goes well. Jordy Nelson too if he has a monster season.

Luckily CMIII and BJ Raji are both under contract for 2011-2013, so there is plenty of time to deal with them. However, I wouldn't be shocked to see one/both of those guys extended well before then.

So long to the days of people complaining about "Cheap Teddy", he has more than enough good players on his roster to worry about signing, let alone other team's players.

Yes. The problem with da Bears O is 2 fold:
1) Their OL isn't good enough for the type of protection it requires,
2) They don't have the WRs for their scheme.

Well, with JJ there, that will solve problem #2. He's the perfect WR for that O and he's tough enough to make 100 catches a year and play 16 games + Playoffs.

Packers making pitch for Jones
Jul 27, 2011 -- 7:09pm

GREEN BAY – Aaron Rodgers’ hope of the Green Bay Packers re-signing unrestricted free agent wide receiver James Jones may be more realistic than first thought.

According to an NFL source, the Packers are making an effort to keep Jones, who was expected to be fielding significant offers from other teams as the free-agent period began this week. The source said he believes there is “definitely” a chance Jones re-signs with the Packers.

"I know they're talking," the source said of negotiator Russ Ball and Jones' agent, Frank Bauer.

In an interview with Steve “The Homer” True and Mitch “Thunder” Nelles on ESPNMilwaukee and ESPNMadison Tuesday afternoon, Rodgers implored the Packers to keep Jones.

"James is extremely talented and he's a guy that I think we have to bring back without a doubt," Rodgers said. "He should be priority No. 1. And I mean that with all my heart. He really should be priority No. 1. We don't win the Super Bowl without him. And we need him."

In 65 career games and 18 starts (including playoffs), Jones has caught 166 passes for 2,305 yards and 16 touchdowns. Last season was his most productive, with 50 catches for 679 yards and five touchdowns in 16 regular-season games and 11 catches for 144 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers’ four postseason games, including Super Bowl XLV.

Reached via text message Wednesday afternoon, Jones said he heard about Rodgers comments and appreciated them.

“I’m glad to hear that he has my back, like always,” Jones wrote.

Rodgers also made a pitch for the team keeping veteran right tackle Mark Tauscher, but given the team's salary-cap situation, that appears unlikely. Tauscher did not respond to text messages Wednesday.

Most of the top WR have signed deals (Holmes, S. Rice, S. Moss, L. Moore, Breaston).

Looks like the best WR still available will be: Braylon Edwards, Steve Smith (Giants), Mike Sims-Walker, James Jones, Brad Smith, Mark Clayton. Of those guys, Jones seems to be the only one without baggage or injury questions.

(Also should mention guys like Randy Moss, TO, and Plaxico.)
