Pack have 15 millionish left in cap space this year? I'm willing to take a million-ish hit for some back shoulder catches!

I can't believe some actually wanted to give up a late round pick for him. We all knew he would be cut/released/waived.  Even since he has been released, why do we want to bring him on without even seeing what the kids have to offer?

Knowing veterans have their contract guranteed if on active roster week 1, plus we have a pass on 1 spot week 1 and another spot until week 4, it just doesn't make sense to bring him in until we see the kids fail with 12 at the helm. Who knows, maybe Jeff Janis tears up the damn league with 12 tossing him the rock?

I hope the stupidity ends soon.

It's not as much extra money as people think.

There are 2 WRs with a year of actual live NFL experience on this roster. That's it. Two. What if Adams gets hurt? Is Jones still going to be around in a week or two if we'd wait?

I get the issues with thwarting youth development. We threw HaHa and ESPECIALLY Linsley to the wolves last year and they did great. Mr. Deflate did just fine with a bunch of no-names in 2014. The Packers have a lot of weapons, and I too am gaga for Monty. I get all that. However, there's no denying that Jones provides a security blanket at a big time of transition with the WRs.

As far as the cap, obviously Daniels, and maybe Hayward/Starks needed to be sealed up. Additionally there are some "prove its" coming up for 2016 (Raji, Guion, Barclay, Perry) but we're not going to use 2015 cap dollars on people who have to show us something.

I don't know what Jones would sign for, but if you can get not only a vet, but a vet who could have a nearly seamless transition, for a cheap price, back into the roster as a stop gap to avoid a baptism by fire transition with talented, albeit extraordinarily inexperienced youth, then I don't see big harm done.

As for "thwarting youth development," how much better could Myles White actually be? I mean, he is what he is. Which is, NOT as good as Jones.

If we wanna play the what if game, why stop at wide receiver? Injuries happen. You stock pile on good players. James Jones I'm fine with taking Myles White spot. But we lose whatever White gave us on special teams. Not so great move.

Why do we have to lose White? I get the 46 active, but the roster can be fluid. Cuts could come elsewhere.

As far as injuries, my point was we feel great about our depth now, but look how thin we appeared or are (at least in terms of experience) once Jordy went down. Lets say Cobb gets hurt, do you still feel good about the depth and experience?

12 months from now I'd feel much more at ease with Adams, Janis, Abby, Pinkard (if those two make the PS), etc. but as of Sept 6th 2015...I'm apprehensive to say the least.
