James Jones speaks about Panthers

[lola]

People, people. What have we got to lose at this point? I'm waiting........

[Creepster]

look at the date on this blurb from the web site

 

 

The Panthers are "keeping tabs" on free agent James Jones.

They're also "slow-playing" Hakeem Nicks' market. GM Dave Gettleman took a similar philosophy into 2013 free agency and emerged with several big-time contributors, including Mike Mitchell, Ted Ginn, Drayton Florence, and Travelle Wharton. After releasing Steve Smith, Carolina needs two starting receivers. Mar 13 - 7:23

I don't get what's happening with Jones. We all agree he's the best receiver left, but why hasn't any visited any teams that we know of yet? Why is he having to beg the Panthers to sign him? What are we missing here?

Lafell has a job. THE Lafell

[Jangler]

He can have 44.5.

All these older wr s know that the draft this year is deep with wr s.  they are getting more worried than the huddlers - after all its their livelihoods  and he knows we need wr s.

i'll also add

 

2 years ago jordy nelson and greg jennings missed significant time.

 

James Jones was the #1 and produced 14 tds in that season.

 

In the games they missed Jones had 4 tds in 4 games. 3 against Chicago's D.

 

The guy can handle #1 corners. He's big and physical. Not very fast but he reminds me of a Boldin type player

[TheRumGone]

it would be nice to get him but i'm not holding my breath

[bleys]

So who else wants to utilize their new found diarrhea of the mouth to discuss how Gettleman has run off all FAs?

Or does pumping the brakes on fabricating stories hurt the agenda?

We can use the middle of the field, just like other teams get to do. And he can be a blocker.

B.B.But.... I thought no one wanted to play for the panthers now that free agents know there is an evil miser for a gm. Anyway I hope gettleman can offer him something that is attractive both for the panthers and for him.

It doesn't mean no one want to collect a few millions from the panthers either. There isn't exactly a long list of teams competing for his services either.

I like him more than Nicks. He knows what he is. All the vet WRs that are homeless are dying to get picked up because of the depth in the draft. I'd be happy to have him in a Carolina uniform.

This is when Gettlemagic happen! Value FA. Don't be surprised if he signs super cheap. Now if he doesn't... I will scratch my head mightily.

James Jones as a deep threat, Jordan Matthews as a chain mover, and Olsen creating mismatches would make for a great passing game.

Read nowhere concrete that we are even looking at him apart from joe person saying he's the next obvious WR to look at, we made contact with nicks but didn't actually offer him a contract just talked options with him, but like most stories what's true and what isn't!? It's fine he wants to play for us infact I love that and I'm sure other players do too but do we want him?, until I hear he's visiting I'm not holding my breath

The only thing somewhat concrete was rappaport saying that were keeping tabs on him. Wondering if him now saying this could catapult any contract talks
