[QUOTE="TJV, post: 559623, member: 4300"] In his review of the players last season McGinn wrote this about Jones: “Brad Jones: After a pedestrian, injury-filled season, the Packers probably don't like the fact his base salary is to jump from $1 million to $2.5 million. Jones missed 3½ games early with a hamstring and another 1½ games late with an ankle injury. He was responsible for five 20-plus passes and 2½ 20-plus runs. He improved his pressure rate from last season. When healthy, Jones is faster than Hawk. He's also leggy, stiff-hipped and not overly instinctive.
