"Packers agreed to terms with WR James Jones on a three-year contract.
It's hard to love from a fantasy perspective, but Aaron Rodgers and Donald Driver reportedly "went to bat big time for Jones," which may have played a role in GM Ted Thompson's decision to pull the trigger. Jones, 27, posted career bests in catches (50), yards (679), and touchdowns (5) last season while playing in a near-even rotation with Jordy Nelson. That rotation is going to continue this year, which will keep both wideouts as inconsistent fantasy options. It's good news for Rodgers, but bad news for Nelson and Driver."
as a packers fan, couldn't be happier.
as a James Jones owner, not so much.......
James Jones Staying with Pack.
Re: James Jones Staying with Pack.
As a Packers fan I would have liked to see them send him packing and give our new stud Cobb the opportunity.

As a Packer fan I am very happy we kept Jones.

Pretty much kills what little value Jones and Nelson might have had for 2011.

Re: James Jones Staying with Pack.
Agreed. Jones has the talent to be a nice complement to (Insert some legitimate #1 WR here), but the timeshare in Green Bay is maddeningly inconsistent. I think Nelson has slightly more value than Jones, given that Jones has a problem with dropping passes, but the only WR really worth owning in GB at the moment is Greg Jennings.tstafford wrote:Pretty much kills what little value Jones and Nelson might have had for 2011.

Re: James Jones Staying with Pack.
anybody hear what the specifics of the deal are other than a 3 year deal?
just wondering if he got the "starter money" he was after?
