    James Jones ends NFL career

    So long, Green Bay. James Jones has signed a three-year contract with the Oakland Raiders. The wide receiver led the NFL with 14 touchdowns catches in 2012.


    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Who is that scary man pictured? He looks like an old Jon Gruden.

      The owner of the Raiders. Mark Davis.

          The Raiders have quietly signed some solid players

              thats a big disappointment. we had plenty of room to sign him and he would have been a quality receiver to go with what we have.

              and little Davis needs to shave that ****. everyone can see he's covering a horribly receeding hairline.. man thats bad.. how do people look in the mirror and go, yeah.. thats it.. just like i like it.

                  Fairly talented dude but he isnt that good IMO. Product of Rodgers.

                    Hmmm he's sounding like he's doing the James Lofton route, started his career with the Packers, went to the Raiders. We all know what happened after the Raiders cut Lofton right?

                      He had a career year and most of his games were without Rodgers. He's arguably better than anyone we have outside of Stevie Johnson and wouold have welcomed him as felt he was exactly what we lack, a veteran WR who can make plays after the catch and also a strong redzone threat.

                        Not saying I wouldnt take him, just saying he isnt going to ever get 16 TDs again, or however many he had.

                              I think he is better than Stevie Johnson. He would have been a good addition to our WR corp and allowed us to put Stevie full-time into the slot position where he belongs.
