Contrary to earlier reports, WR James Jones Receives Tender

In the last few hours reports from ABC's affiliate in Green Bay, Pat Mayo, claims that Packers wideout James Jones did in fact receive a Restricted Free Agent Tender from the team.

Reports surfaced late last week that stated that FB John Kuhn (no compensaton), K Mason Crosby (2nd round compensation) and OG Daryn Colledge (2nd round compensation) were the only Restricted Free Agents to be tendered. As of Sunday though Mayo is reporting that James Jones himself said that he received a tender from the Packers in the post. During his conversation Mayo said that Jones did not state what round he has been tendered at.

This may end up meaning nothing in the grand scheme of things though, as the new CBA may state that Jones is not eligible to be tendered due to the time he has been in the league. What this does mean is that Green Bay are looking to bring him back to the team for a reasonable price, so as long as teams don't offer Jones number 1 receiver money ( which may happen) he could likely return to the Packers.
