The Facts:
According to ESPNMilwaukee's Jason Wilde, Jones may be the player that benefits most from the free-agent rules reverting back to the 2009 guidelines. Had he been a restricted free agent, the 2007 third-round pick might have returned, with the team having the right to match any offer after tendering him. Instead, if he’s unrestricted, the guess here is a receiver-poor team will pay him starter’s money, which will price him out of Green Bay.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Wilde's contention is based on reports suggesting the next CBA will indeed revert back to the free-agency policy from 2009, which will make Jones an unrestricted free agent. Assuming that's the case, Fantasy Football owners should look for Wilde's prediction to come true. As Wilde explained, with Jordy Nelson’s late-season emergence and impending free agency after the 2011 season, along with the selection of receiver/returner Randall Cobb in the second round of the April draft, the only way Jones comes back is if the market just isn’t there for him.
