I don't know how Will McClay does it.

It has been a strange 12 months for Jones. After a tough year in 2018 that saw him struggle to claim a role on Mike Pettine's defense early on, he ended up playing a lot of safety down the stretch due to injuries and the departures of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Jermaine Whitehead.
Then when 2019 rolled around, Jones skipped all of OTAs, reportedly in the hopes of forcing a trade out of town. He was in attendance for Minicamp - he would have been fined if he had skipped that week - but did not practice due to a hamstring issue.
Then in training camp, Jones made it into the practice field early, even getting a rew reps with the starters as a nickel and dime linebacker while serving as a second team safety. However, an illness struck before preseason games, and Jones has not participated in games or practices for at least two weeks. Some APC writers have speculated that this was a team imposed absence as Brian Gutekunst attempted to find a trade partner for Jones.
Regardless of the true reason for Jones' recent unavailability, it appears that his time with the Packers is indeed done. This will make him one of the most disappointing draft picks in Ted Thompson's tenure; he was drafted in the second round in 2017
=========================================
Yeah he sounds like a real winner.

I think this is a good idea by the FO. And what's that say about their opinion of Heath now? Cuz they seem to realise we need an upgrade at Safety now.

Maybe he needs a change of scenery. Can't be worse than Heath.

Taco can rush the passer, coaches refuse to play him. Not a bust if he got the game time.

Maybe, early on in his career he looked like he was going to be a long time starter for GB. Not sure if he has the mentality to be great.

Well, I don't know either, but I think he could work out for us either way. If nothing, he buys us time until the draft at safety I think.

I think this has nothing to do with Wilson and everything to do with Heath with a player like Josh Jones.

Teams are are always looking
It’s smart when carry extra guys at some positions to have options at others all the time
