The Facts:
Life goes on, and the Packers appear to have moved on from Jones. A source said Jones hasn't been offered a new contract and, in all likelihood, won't be. "I don't think Ted Thompson wants him," Frank Bauer, Jones' only agent since being drafted by Green Bay in the third round in 2007, said at the NFL scouting combine.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In seven seasons, Jones has 310 receptions for 4,305 yards (13.9) and 37 TDs. He ranks 12th in receptions on the Packers' all-time list and 13th in receiving yards. According to Journal-Sentinel staffer Bob McGinn, age is one factor in the Packers' thinking. Jones will be 30 next month. Probably even more significant was the development of Jarrett Boykin in 2013, his second season in Green Bay. Playing behind Jordy Nelson and Jones during Randall Cobb's absence because of a broken leg, Boykin caught 49 passes for 681 yards, a 13.9-yard average and three touchdowns. Just as Jones was one of the players that ultimately made Greg Jennings expendable last March, Boykin is one of the players making Jones expendable this March. HC Mike McCarthy indicated last week that Boykin, 24, was a capable No. 3 wide receiver and, with continued improvement, might even become a No. 2.
