per Tom Silverstein, GB beat reporter:

#Packers WR James Jones has agreed to terms on a three-year deal with the Green Bay Packers, source just said.

The sound you just heard was the sound of Nelson's stock falling.

Good signing. Interested to see what they paid him. Now have a legitimate 5 wrs (Jennings, Driver, Jones, Nelson, Cobb) plus Finley, Quarless, Crabtree and Williams. I love the Eagles dbs but there lbs and safeties can still be beat like they were in the playoffs last year

Worst news I have heard all week.

i was totally wrong about this... thought he might be a good fit in MIN. i'm curious to see how the targets work out (the only player i see this benefiting is Rodgers)

 

[Eviloutsider]

Well, I hope DD takes a back seat and plays the slot only.

I need to see the $$4 involved. Better be a very fair deal to the Pack. If not, I cannot see why they would keep him over Cullen (I believed both should be gone, but if they were choosing one, Jenkins is the guy)

Cullen is their best penetrating defensive lineman. Not sure why you'd want him gone. He's a very unique player when healthy.

Wonder if that means Driver is done?

I think Jones staying put is good for GB... but in FF, it's not ideal for Jones, Nelson and Cobb owners.

 

[Balco]

Wonder if that means Driver is done?

I don't think so. Driver apparently had input on the signing. I do believe, however, that this is Driver's last year with the Pack. Could be wrong though.

This. I also think it's possible, if Cobb is the 'real deal', that one of Jones or Nelson can be traded before the deadline, or at least next season.

hes a good wr and it also blocks mn from getting him so it has a good effect for everyone except for donovan mcnabb who will probably be ok anyhow because he makes even ordinary wrs seem like they are all pros like freddy mitchell who would like to thank his hands tke it to the bank!

(ring, ring)"Yes, hello? Oh it's you 2004. What? You want your Donovan McNabb-is-a-franchise-QB-hype-train back?"

 

[KellysHeroes]

was waiting for James Jones news all week, Rodgers really wanted him back but this is the worst spot for his FF value.

Nelson will be an UFA next year.

This great news for the Packers as they actually will have better WR depth. Driver is likely done after this year and either Nelson or Jones will slide into that spot. Gives Cobb sometime to learn from guys above him on the depth chart. Packers will be able to spread teams out again and take advantage of dime and nickel backs all day, Eagles might want to keep Samuel now if they want to compete with the Packers passing game.

Cullen Jenkins was good as gone once the season was over. When healthy he did provide a pass rush, but he also had some problems tackling. 09 games against the Steelers and playoff game agains the Cards he missed some sacks that could have changed the game. He is at that age that skills will dimished and money not used on him will go to Sitton, Finley or some younger player ready for an extension. Neal and Wilson should provide enough that Jenkins isn't missed much and the other OLB should start to have more succes as they develop.

Quite surprisingly no bad team made Jerry Porter Bryant Johnson James Jones an offer he couldn't refuse.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

SO Jones was the 4th WR last week?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Wonder why the Packers are not pulling the trigger here? Why not send him to the Dolphilbins?

Philbin doesn't want him for the same reason he didn't want Matt Flynn.
