Greenseed4 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 TFY Draft Insider Tony Pauline reports free agent James Jones is drawing "heavy interest" from the Lions and Jets. Pauline adds that the Packers "may still be in the mix" for Jones, though it seems like a longshot. Jones recently mentioned the Colts and Chargers as teams that interest him. Playing alongside Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford wouldn't be a bad gig. Due to an abominable quarterback situation, the Jets would likely have to blow Jones away financially to land him.

Jetlife33 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Seems like everyone thinks the Jets have to overpay for anyone to sign with them. The bright lights in the NJ swamp isn't enough for these bastards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bright lights in the NJ swamp isn't enough for these bastards? The douche bags that have been playing QB here are the problem. If I was a WR, TE or RB I'd hang up if the Jets called.

Sperm Edwards Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 True but he would of made nearly the same with another team could of had a lot better numbers, made the playoffs and signed a bigger following contract. The bigger contract after the Jets was from his own doing and had nothing to do with the Jets. He got injured and is a scumbag. That's why he got released. If he was a true team-first player, 100% healthy, and was some or all of the things that he isn't, then the Jets wouldn't have cut him. Particularly when we don't have anyone else and are flush with cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just speaking from personal viewing experience. I actually have not seen much GB the past few years. James Jones was a third round pick who had made a name for himself playing the #3 role in GreenBay. While defenses focused their attention on Donald Driver and Greg Jennings, Jones quietly compiled 14 TDs in 2012 to lead the NFL. He's not a true #1, but he's a veteran presence with good size, good hands, and can step right in and immediately improve our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
