Sunday Morning, as I check the signing sites, still no James Jones showing up anywhere, looks like The Packers are still in the running.

I posted early last week I was hoping Ted would resign as many of last years team as possible, looks like he has done a pretty good job.

I have Jones, J. Kuhn, A. Smith, A. Bigby, and Matt Wilhelm as the only players left that haven't signed with anyone.
(I might have missed a signing, not 100% positive this list is correct).

Will be watching for news on all these guys.

It's still a QB driven league and I'd take Aaron Rodgers over vick in a match up any day. Still I've wanted to resign Jones all off season and I'd like to see that happen. As much as my head says to take him over Driver my heart says no. I want both!
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Ahhh, it sounds like many more have come around to my idea of not losing Jones because of Driver theory that I posted some months ago. If keeping Driver has nothing to do with keeping Jones then it's obviously a non-issue. I'm not convinced that that's the case, however. Driver MAY be productive this year (maybe), but I doubt he'll be on the team next year and if he is he will not be much of a threat. Jones, with all of his faults, will still be a significant threat for at least 4-5 more years (one more contract).

Driver, I love ya man, but unless you're going to take less money, you're not worth keeping if it means losing Jones. I suppose the more nostalgic will disagree, but I'll simply disagree with them.

Although, I suppose the ideal situation is to keep both, for now! 😉

Can we go a 7 WR Set?

Jennings - Driver - Jones - Cobb - Finley - Swain - Nelson

The Jets just signed Plaxico Burress, so they are probably out of the running for Jones--although you never know, the way the Jets spend money. I agree with others that Ted should try to keep Jones, but not as a reaction to what other teams are doing. Also, porky makes a good point about Josh Sitton. He would be harder to replace than Jones, and it would be great to lock him up long-term. He has established enough of a reputation to make the Pro Bowl this year, and if he does, his price will go way up.

People keep mentioning Driver, but I don't think cutting Driver, or demanding that he renegotiate, is even a consideration at this point. At some point, honor does come into the picture in the way that veterans are treated, and Driver is one of the classiest guys and best leaders the Packers have had in the past few decades. If Ted Thompson wanted to do something different with him, I think he would've done it by now.

7 WR set is beyond stupid. You need five offensive linemen at the line of scrimmage at all times.

Jennings and Driver are gonna be there every play -- no doubt.

But when it comes to Jones/Nelson/Cobb, there's going to have to be some exotic packages. Can't forget Jermichael Finley too, who will also be lining up at wideout.

What *is* possible is even more different 4- and 5- WR sets than before.

Anything that offers Mike McCarthy a chance to be a playmaking innovator and anything that gives opposing DC's more to worry about is good, IMO.
