Now I hope we sign James Jones.

I hope I'm not overreacting. I was kinda "eh" on JJ before. Vikes just signed Michael Jenkins, so that MIGHT take JJ out of the running. Could also mean JJ wants too much $$$. I figured if we could get him cheap he would be good to sign, but figured he'd be too expensive. As long as he didn't go to another North team, I'd be fine.

But man, that Philly D looks stacked. We need all the good receiving we can get against their secondary and pass rush. Ted Thompson cleared up quite a bit of cap room (around 17 mil last I read.)

What do you think? Should we pursue Jones more aggressively in response to Philly's offseason?

James Jones.

Anyhow, yes, I'm hoping the Packers sign James Jones too. I leaned towards signing James Jones over retaining Donald Driver out of the gate.

I think we should re-sign Jones but not cause of other team actions. I really do think giving your QB as much as targets possible could destroy any defense. IMO Jones & Ted are discussing a good contract to please both parties, why else would it take so much time to resign?

As far as I can remember, only one team bought a Super Bowl. That was the 94 49ers. The 07 Patriots attempted to do the same thing and came close.

Yes, the Eagles are putting that theory to test this season, but I feel as good about the Packers as any team in football.

We should pursue James Jones on his own merit.

My personal

OPINION

is that we should pursue him very strongly. I'm hating the Eagles right now, they seem to be attempting to buy a Super Bowl, seem to be incredibly successful at creating a certain momentum and synergy in the attempt, seem to be scamming the rest of the league, etc.

If we have a good year (and they do also) - we will just have to see about all that. It's a brand new year, and I like my talent, even though it wasn't bought elsewhere. 👍

Who is better right now, James Jones or Donald Driver?

It's really close.

Who's better in two years?

It's got to be Jones.

I'm starting to think that the Pack should not keep Driver if it means losing Jones. Ask Donald to re-neg to a more team friendly deal, and keep Jones in the fold.

Then use the rest of the money to lock up Sitton, and if Finley stays healthy until week 10, we lock him up too.

I'd have to say James Jones, considering his younger / faster / less injury
