Currently The Packers have these guys on their roster at WR

These saw very little or no action in 2013
Sederrick Cunningham
Tyrone Walker,
Myles White
Kevin Dorsey
Alex Gillette,
Chris Harper

James Jones or any of the above, or any rookie, to join the top 3 on the final 53 man roster?

Jarret Boykin
Randall Cobb
Jordy Nelson

Despite being injures during the season and playing with broken ribs the last 2 games of the season, oh and there's that little thing of playing with 4 DIFFERENT QB'S, Jones still had his best yardage output of his career.\

Just because he didn't lead the NFL in TD catches in 2013 doesn't mean he didn't have a productive year.

At some point , if another team doesn't sign James, I hope Ted makes him a fair offer.

James Jones has been nothing but class as a Packer, The Packers will be a better team with Jones on the roster than without him.
The only question is how much is he worth, that's Teds decision.

2014 NFL Draft: Wide Receiver Rankings

Going off of that height requirement there's: Mike Evans, Kelvin Benjamin, Brandon Coleman, Martavius Byrant and Devin Street.

Two of the taller WRs I like are

Jordan Matthews, Vanderbilt, 6-3, 212

Donte Moncrief, Ole Miss, 6-2, 221

Neither of them are the fastest but both have great body control, run very good routes and do a lot of the little thing right. Packers seem to draft WRs that run very good routes and do a lot of the little thing right.

Also Matthews is a cousin of Jerry Rice.

Jones provides a very stable, fairly reliable (occasional drops) and consistent presence at the position. We've seen with injuries to Cobb, Nelson, and Jennings the past few years how quickly the perception of depth can vanish, so keeping Jones at a reasonable price, who also happens to be a great locker room presence as far as we can tell, is certainly preferable.

I'd only ad that I think he would be worth more than Ted Thompson probably does and most of the fans on here do.

there is just to much risk IMO without Jones. We need 3 healthy WR, and the odds of one of Cobb, Nelson or Boykin getting hurt and missing is do high to ignore. We can afford to pay even more than he was making. Just keep the SB low so we release him in the future with little impact if another WR emerges.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

To me it's looking more and more like JJ could be coming back. If Caronlina doesn't sign him, I bet he's back.

This sucks, but I get it. McKenzie going after him, and going back to where he played college football.

Good Luck James.

Would have rather seen you in Green Bay, but just wasn't in the cards.

Packers going to be really young and raw at WR unless Ted decides to bring in a veteran from the outside.

Let's hope Jordy, Randall and jarret all stay healthy.

Will be interesting to see of The Packers end up with 5 or 6 WR's on the final 53.
