James Jones won't be one of the players who will survive the 53 man roster deadline, he learned on Saturday.NFL Media reported the wide receiver was released by the New York Giants on the morning of the mandate.
Jones left the Green Bay Packers in search of free agent glory, eventually getting it with the Raiders in a three year deal.
They released him in May and signed with the Giants two months later for a year, but they weren't terribly interested in him, either.
Which raises the question, Will he go back home? The Packers have been weakened at the wide receiver position, losing team-leader Jordy Nelson for the year to a torn ACL, and Randall Cobb is still iffy for Week 1 at Soldier Field with a sprained A/C joint.
Jones caught 15 passes for 187 yards in the Giants' exhibition season and has 4,971 career receiving yards and 43 touchdowns since being drafted by the Packers in 2007.
