If I would have to harbor a guess.. Jones agent is creating urgency and an illusion that he is going to move fast.

Reports were that Jones was talking with the Packers.. next day pressure comes out, trying to get the Packers to bite and offer more.

All a process.. and it is still in motion.

Ted Thompson has the cadaverous eyes of a master poker player. I don't think he would be unnerved by artificial pressure created by James Jones, even if he did seem to cave in to Ryan Grant during the Favre debacle.

Yep, kind of what I was getting at by mentioning William Henderson and Aaron Kampman.

I kind of expected players like Colledge and Jenkins to be bolt, but I'd be more surprised if James Jones leaves than if he stays.

I just heard the Vikings are talking to James Jones. That makes a ton of sense.

Of course, if it's going to be a division team, it might as well be the fourth-place Vikings.

I am sorry... but the UDFA road in getting into the NFL is the biggest black hole in this sport.. even when you prove your worth, you hole little chips. At least in the new deal it is a 4 year hole in place of a 6 year hole.

Frank Bauer told Jason Wilde that James Jones will give the Packers a chance to match a contract that he might sign.

One can only hope that the James Jones situation is taking so long because the Packers are working a deal for him. I do not want to see Jones (or any above average Pack player for that matter) in a Vikings uniform.

Have any other teams been mentioned in interest of James Jones?
