As Wisconsin spring turns into Wisconsin fall (why bother with summer it just gets in the way of football season) I starting getting geared up for the Packers. For me, it begins with the annual shareholders meeting where I get to spend some quality time at Lambeau with the gang as we hang out with [...]

The way the system is now, all the number one picks come in last, and their rookie contract is pretty much a done deal before any negotiations. I would be interested in knowing the contract status of the OTHER number one picks around the league. This Datone Jones situation thing is only a problem if he is somehow standing alone as unsigned.

Nothing to panic about at the moment. He's at the OTA and participating so that's the important thing for now. Maybe the situation with Shields held things up a little bit.

Shouldn’t he be up in Green Bay with the rest of the team?

I am shocked and amazed that hardly anything has been said about this.

The prioirty would have been to get Jones into camp from day one and prepare him to start. Why is that not happening?

At what point does the lack of Jones being in Green Bay become newsworthy?

Question: At what point does the lack of Jones being in Green Bay become newsworthy?

Answer: At the point where it's a true statement. Jones has been in Green Bay just as long as all the other rookies and has been practicing just like the others. Draft picks don't need to be signed until training camp and can practice in OTAs. This (false, scary tactic) story is a non-issue as long as he's sign before training camp. Also the new CBA basically takes more than 95% of the reasons to hold out away.

Question: Why isn't Datone signed yet?

Answer: That is a good question, but I'm guessing it's some borin reason. Such as the Packers money people are followers and non-leaders. In other words, they wait and see what the other NFL teams are doing about that less than 5% the CBA doesn't take care of and just waits and copies the other teams like they have been doing for years if not decades. It's the way the Packers have been doing it for years. Wait until other teams sign their guys and look at the contracts just below and just above where their draft pick was taken and sign them to something in between the two.
