[tps_title]2. Receiver[/tps_title]
Free agents: James Jones
Entering final contract year: Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, Jarrett Boykin
On the surface, most anyone would say the Green Bay Packers have a pretty strong group of receivers regardless of whether they re-sign James Jones.
Well, the entire group could be playing elsewhere after the season. The three guys currently on the roster — Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and Jarrett Boykin — are all entering the final year of their contracts.
We’re sure the Packers will do everything in their power to sign Nelson and Cobb to extensions this summer, but clearly they need to protect themselves. Part of that plan could be re-signing Jones… if they can afford him. Another part is more than likely going to be adding a receiver in the draft.
While the Packers look set at receiver for the 2014 season, they have more questions than answers beyond that.
