Packers are releasing Josh Jones - Safety

[Panthera onca]

Hard hitter but a major liability in coverage.

[LinvilleGorge]

I'd put in a claim. I have a very difficult time believing that he's worse than the worst safety currently in line to make our 53.

[cookinbrak]

I wouldn't put in a claim, I'd offer a 7th rd pick. They're gonna cut him anyway.

Greenbay has had one of the worst secondaries in the NFL the last few years, and he couldn't even crack the lineup in that.

Theyve really invested in safeties via FA and 1st round pick since

  If I thought they would actually get rid of CJ, heck ya. Besides that long time issue, now Gaulden seems to be in the doghouse, so we need some actual depth at both S spots. Right now, who plays if Reid is hurt? Boston at SS and Cockrell at FS is all I got. 

  We need another S, and Jones fits the mold of cheap, young experienced depth.

Probably would be our second best safety by a long shot so of course we not even gonna put a claim in lol

I would be for it. We are one injury away from seeing cockrell or Colin. 

And wtf is up with gaulden not traveling with the team?

Cockrell has been pretty solid and can play safety and corner. Just the versatility we need.

[Tepper's Chest Hair]

Being cut by a team with a horrible secondary?  Check

Doesn't play FS?  Check

Horrible at coverage?  Check

No wonder people in the Huddle want him.  He's a flashy name that fits exactly zero of our needs.

[Toolbox]

doubt we will be able to claim him.. but we do need to try to get him because there's something going on with gaulden.

[mc52beast]

Cam he be our backup qb...

Is he better than Colin Jones? Check!

Exactly. If the team can get better at any position/depth, then it should. No starters play every snap, every game.

That's a good question, scratched my head on that one too

This has been a thing for them since before training camp. I believe he asked to be traded. Not sure what the deal is or why but this isn’t something brand new. 

Them signing a better SS in Amos and drafting Savage was all he needed to see. 

He's kinda trash tho, so they had plenty of reasons to replace him
