James Jones would leave a lot to be desired as any team's #1 WR. The thing is he wouldn't be counted on to be the teams #1 WR. He'd be #3 at best, maybe #2 on some teams. Right now I think he is a better WR than Adams, Abby and Janis but I think they will stick around because I do expect them to improve and they are younger and have value elsewhere. I do expect they will move on from him but I don't see what a training camp little to no guaranteed money contract would hurt just to have him around. I do think JJ should be playing in the NFL somewhere next year.

Tell you the truth, I'm very curious what happens with Megatron this offseason. Already rumblings he wants to "retire" which is lingo for "get me the fuck out of Detroit". I doubt though that the Lions would ever deal with the Packers for a player of that caliber.

What we really need is a very athletic, seam busting tight end.

I think what we have at WR is good enough. Jordy, Cobb, Ty, Abby, and Janis is above par in the NFL. Bring Adams back to camp, but he has a lot to atone for.

His cap hit is ridiculous next year ($24M) and almost as bad the year after ($21M). Megatron is either in re-structure land or cut land.

If we're counting on Jordy being healthy and rolling with same crew from this year that is a mistake.

At very least we need that guy at TE we both want so desperately to take some heat off our outside guys if/when Jordy goes down.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Richardson is gone, health. Perry will sign with a team as a 4-3 DE. Heyward will get a bigger payday than we can pay. Raji could be here if no one overpays. Same with Quarless and Neal, we have no one better. Jones will be here if one of Abby, Janis or Adams don't step up or gets hurt. So I think 3 of the 7 will be here. Of course, any of these players could get drafted over. JMHO
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Yeah, I think the WRs will be OK. That's a good group. Only draft another WR if he is clearly the BPA or special teams demon like Janis. As you said, a true starting-caliber tight end is much more important. I've said it many times, but Richard Rodgers is nothing more than an average #2 TE and a decent red zone threat. He supposedly has good hands, but he runs in mud. The Packers need a tight end with good hands and some speed. That along with a healthy WR core minus James Jones will put that Packers back into the elite offensive group.
