GREEN BAY, Wis. -- James Jones’ phone wasn’t exactly ringing off the hook -- or whatever today’s cell phone equivalent is -- as NFL free agency began on Monday.
“Oh, it opened up today?” the Green Bay Packers’ veteran wide receiver said with a laugh Monday night from his home in San Ramon, California. “I didn't even know.”
Despite setting a career high in receiving yards (890) with the Packers last season and a career best in receptions (73) with the Oakland Raiders the year before, the 31-year-old Jones isn't expecting a lot of calls early in the open market.
