Brought in by the New York Giants in July to compete for a roster spot, James Jones stay in New York only lasted a few months. The Giants have cut ties with the 31-year-old receiver, as they seek to trim their roster down to 52 players by this afternoon. 

Jones, who was released by the Oakland Raiders back in May, didn't see a real market for his services before the Giants signed him to a veteran-minimum deal. He wasn't expected to be a major contributor to the team, but a return to offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo's offense was expected to uplift the veteran after a down season in Oakland.

Of course now that Jones has been released, one connection and one connection only will be made. The Green Bay Packers lost Jordy Nelson just a few weeks ago and the third receiver situation is unsettled. Jeff Janis has not "won over" Aaron Rodgers. Meanwhile, Ty Montgomery is still a rookie and putting him in the slot forces Randall Cobb outside.

The fit makes a lot of sense for a reunion between Jones and Green Bay. They could potentially bring him in on a veteran-minimum deal and give Rodgers another receiver he trusts. While talent is most important Rodgers needs wide receivers he trusts and knows he can rely on, Jones has more chemistry and history with Rodgers than Montgomery or Janis.

Janis and Montgomery are obviously in no danger of losing their roster spots, but the same can't be said for Myles White. He could slide in as Green Bay's fifth receiver, but he isn't the more known, reliable commodity that Jones is. In the end, it just makes sense to sign Jennings.

Of course, you can never always predict what will happen in the NFL. Green Bay may just decide to stick with youth and not pursue Jones, or perhaps Jones doesn't want to return to Green Bay. Even if he does, it's just hard to see Jones picking up significant fantasy value. There are younger receivers who you can pick up at the end of drafts that offer more upside.
