I think JJ's underrated. He'd normally be a #2 guy on most teams, maybe a #1. Dude can get it done. He's just had the dropsies at times. But then all our WRs have. I think we could get something for him, in which case DD would stay an extra year. If he makes the team.

Keep it up and you'll be in the Nerdman/DakotaT dojo of coolness. [grin1]

Anyway, if I could get a 3rd rounder out of James Jones, I'd do it every day and twice on Sunday. We are very thin at DL, OLB, and safety - and the more higher picks we can use to land serviceable players the better.

I very much doubt we could get a third for him though, because he couldn't even get a decent contract last year when he was an unrestricted free agent. James Jones is horribly overated by Packer Fans.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

dhazer is confident, but is wary of crossing the line to your side.

Jones is a good fit for McCarthy’s system, though. He’s a very good No. 3 receiver. Frankly, I think he could be a No. 2 receiver, but not in a pass oriented offense. He’s never going to be somebody you’ll want consistently featured in your offensive attack. He’s always going to be a complimentary player.

In today’s league, three million nets you a complimentary player. In our offense, he’s perfect for what he does, so I don't see the point in dealing him. You don't trade just for the sake of making a trade.

He's a good football player who can play all of the WR positions, run every route, beat a press, pick up yac, and make big plays down field. He's not really elite in any aspect but he's well worth the money the Packers pay him. You don't really improve your team by getting rid of the guys who are living up to their salary and making a positive impact on the field.

Scott Wells' contract with the Rams is a four-year deal worth $24 million, with $13 million guaranteed.

Jeff Saturday's two-year deal in Green Bay is worth $7.75 million, including $4 million this season.

Do any of you who disagree with the Saturday pick up honestly think that Scott Wells is worth that contract? Ted Thompson got quite the steal here with Jeff Saturday. No guaranteed money and only a 2 year deal (showing that he is just a stop-gap contract). Packers now have a reliable veteran to fill the void at center while they pick another center up in the draft (my pick- David Molk from Michigan).

Saturday is a great fit in this offensive line and I don't really see how playing musical chairs would be a better solution than this(someone mentioned it). Wells was as good as gone from the beginning. Saturday comes in and plays his original position, allowing everyone else to stay at their current position.

The offensive linemen on Twitter loved this signing. I'd take what they think of Saturday over what Rodgers thinks of him.
