Former Packers wide receiver James Jones believes that Aaron Rodgers ultimately will get on the same page with the Packers’ front office and play in Green Bay this season.

Jones said Rodgers isn’t as down on Packers General Manager Brian Gutekinst as some people have made him out to be, nor is Rodgers as unhappy about his contract as some people have made him out to be.

fired and these things, it’s not about that,” Jones said.

The closest Jones would come to explaining what exactly Rodgers is upset about was an indication that Rodgers’ frustration with the Packers cutting receiver Jake Kumerow extends to other players they’ve let go as well.

Jones said Rodgers doesn’t object to drafting Jordan Love but does object to cutting Kumerow, Jordy Nelson and other favorite teammates.

You’ve got guys like Jordy Nelson who are willing to take a pay cut to play and you say, ‘No, get out of here’ anyway,” Jones said.

It may be too late to bring back Kumerow or Nelson, but Jones thinks it’s not too late for Gutekinst to convince Rodgers that going forward, the Packers will be a team he wants to play for.

I have to say, I was disappointed they let Jordy go and I was shocked about Kumerow.

I mean, the very next day after Rodgers said he thought Kumerow secured a spot, Kumerow was cut.

Jones also said Rodgers is willing and ready to fly to GB and sit down and talk this out.

I see a lot of Packer fans are turning on Aaron Rodgers.

If you dont want Rodgers, why dont you want the Packers to trade him for a kings randsom?

I have to say, I was disappointed they let Jordy go and I was shocked about Kumerow.

I mean, the very next day after Rodgers said he thought Kumerow secured a spot, Kumerow was cut?

After all the ridiculous, foolish, wrong and unwarranted speculation (and downright lies), James Jones get it right.

I think the reason I can relate so well to this is because I loved both Jordy Nelson and Jake Kumerow.

Thank you James Jones for being one of the few clear headed thinkers among the talking head industry.

What James Jones said there makes absolutely no sense based on indications coming from a million other places, so it sounds like absolute BS and he’s just making it up to provide an alternative and to make a name for himself.

I absolutely loved Jordy Nelson but he played one season after leaving the Packers before retiring.

And Jake Kumerow had one single reception last season for the Bills.

When the Packers released Jordy Nelson, he looked like a shell of his former self in Oakland the following season before he retired.

AR was way more po’d about Nelson and JK than people realize.

“I absolutely loved Jordy Nelson but he played one season after leaving the Packers before retiring.

Rodgers and Nelson were a fantastic combination.

The Packers’ front office knew what it was doing with Jordy & Kumerow.

“It’s about the people.” So it’s about the people the Packers cut whom Rodgers liked playing with.

I absolutely loved Jordy Nelson but he played one season after leaving the Packers before retiring.

And Jake Kumerow had one single reception last season for the Bills.

When Rodgers comes back from his extended vacation he soon will love Amari Rodgers as much as he did Jordy or Jake.

Aaron Rodgers thought enough of James Jones to allow him to exclusively break the story of his contract extension a few seasons ago.

Yes, Jones has a little fun with his homerism predicting the Packers record each year, but I’ll put my faith in his reporting when it comes to Aaron Rodgers.

AR was way more po’d about Nelson and JK than people realize?

Nelson clearly showed he was done in his last season with the Packers and Kumerow was never any good.

I’m supposed to believe that Rodgers is going to retire because the Packers didn’t keep these guys.

Neither Nelson or Kumerow have or did much after leaving GB.

Nelson was past his prime and Kumerow is a guy.

If this is really about Nelson and Kumerow then I really don’t think we should ever again hear about how the Packers aren’t giving Rodgers enough weapons?

Really liked Jordy Nelson but he was traded/released at the end of 2017, after only having 472 receiving yards & he’s not even playing anymore

So everyone else who reportedly talked to Rodgers and was repeating what Rodgers told them was wrong but James is the only one who is correct

Rodgers, and the Packers, have apparently agreed to say nothing
