According to this link here the Packers are entertaining the idea of trading James Jones.

We all know, that no one really wanted James Jones as a free agent in the 2011 off-season, but lets indulge the idea ... who could the Packers trade James Jones to and for what in return?

Doesn't look like there is much interest in Jones if this article is correct.

Packers Were Shopping James Jones Prior To The Draft

Packers are just gonna have to be patient if they really do want to trade Jones, the injury bug will hit another team and they will come looking.

Any trade would probably be for a future draft pick, no players. I am guessing at best a 3rd or 4th rnd pick depending on the interested team.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Packers have enough WR talent to ditch anybody but Jennings and Nelson... What would they want for him? At this point of the season, it's really hard to tell... We drafted for defense which is where we were hurting, we really don't need another draft pick(s) for 2013, so until we really get an idea of what the kids on defense can do, it's really hard to project what our needs will be. We're certainly not going to get any sort of starter-quality player for him, that's for sure. But it never hurts to dangle someone out there to see who might be desperate for some talent.

Teams that could use a guy like Jones are teams like Texans, Jags, Titans, Ravens, Rams, Dolphins, Raiders, Jets, Browns, Seahawks etc...

Even with some Packers connections I wouldn't expect Dolphins or Browns (unless Philben is able to pressure the GM into it). I think Raiders/Seahawks would be a likely option.

Seems like trade value for non-QBs has been pretty down lately... I'm thinking at best 5th round.

Also it doesn't seem like Thompson likes trading away players that have a shot at making the final roster... Corey Williams and Favre are only two he has. Favre because... well I think we all know. And Williams because the Browns were talking HUGE $$$ with his agent before FA started and it was gonna be a lot more than Thompson was gonna pay so he took the tag and trade.

I don't think the Packers can get much for him. Maybe a project C or something.

As long as the Packers don't shop around Jones with a higher price tag than he is, the teams mentioned would probably bite...especially the Texans.

Jones to any team mentioned for a 4th-5th round pick wouldn't be a bad deal.

Actually, I don't, because I think he's a good player for our team. However, I view him as the most tradable Packer at this time, due to his effectiveness, experience, size, speed, and his cap friendly contract. I would rather get something for one of our WRs than nothing. Pick (s) for next year is fine. My guess is Ted will wait this out to make sure we aren't the ones suffering an injury to another player at WR through TC, and will trade one of our guys prior to cut downs to 53. If the price is right, maybe he makes a move sooner than that. Houston sounds like a good bet.

Our WR depth is incredible. We can't keep them all. Best to trade rather than cut.

Yeah, it probably makes sense if we could get decent value out of him. If these young receivers (Gurley, Borel, Moss) are as good as they seem, the difference in production for a 4th-ish WR shouldn't be significant, and the Packer's would have another draft pick to play with next year. But honestly, it was anything less than a 4th, I'd rather just keep him. I'm not sure a 5th round pick would make much sense for a team that will be competing for the Super Bowl. One of two bad injuries, and the WR core looks a lot different.

Zero2Cool (9h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (13h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (13h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (14h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (14h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (14h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (14h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (14h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (14h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (15h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (15h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (15h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (15h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (15h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (17h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (17h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (17h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
