I think Barfarn is making an educated guess here. The numbers he's giving are the vet minimum sallary numbers, which has a different application to the cap due to CBA rules (why the cap hit is lower). This is a pretty safe assumption as it's what he signed with the Giants, it's doubtful he would demand/the Packers would pay him more.

This seems like a personal attack as opposed to a discussion about football; unless your question was hamfistedly worded and you were really asking this question: “Barfarn, You have been on this Jones thing since the very second Jordy dropped in Pitts; You stated Jones would be cut when all the NYG beat writers said he would not and he was leading team in most receiving stats; You said Ted Thompson was gonna sign him when he never resigns these retreads; Just how many GM’s around the league confide in you Barfarn as they make their moves, no one could be so brilliant on their own?”

As for being "on this Jones thing" 😂 , give me a break, you weren't even the first on this site to make such observations, lol. Predicting this was like predicting the sunrise! 😎

All said and done, I will admit I do feel better that the Packers didn't knee-jerk reaction and lose a draft pick like some (you know you are!) demanded the Packers do and still landed James Jones.

This lineup looks better than like this ...

Randall Cobb
Davante Adams
Ty Montomgery
Jeff Janis
James Jones

I agree with that statement. I construed: "why do you always sound like you have inside info?" As more of a loaded or rhetorical question than an inquiry. Now after gbguy's response not so sure I was right about that.

So, gbguy I apologize and a thousands pardons please; next time I'll try to do the remedial math better.

I was hoping James Jones would sport #85, but figured Richard Rodgers would give up his number (after seeing Jones wore 89 with Raiders and Giants that is) to Jones if asked. Hopefully some money went to a charity of some kind of Rodgers choice.

Hopefully Rodgers can do like a former #82... and have a great second year just like #82 TE Paul Coffman did! 😎

“I just gave it up,” Rodgers replied when asked what the asking price was for the number. “I don’t really have an attachment to No. 89. It’s not a big deal.”

“Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don't do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time.”

You all love statistics so here is one for you.

James Jones has 196 receptions over the last three seasons and 115 them went for a first down. That's not including his 23 TD's over the same period.

You can let that settle in ...
