Report: Packers Safety Josh Jones Wants to Be Traded
Josh Jones, a second-round pick just two years ago, is skipping the Packers’ OTAs because he’s hoping to force a trade, a source told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.
Jones has been working out in Florida with a trainer after he left the Packers’ offseason program about a month ago.
The source said Jones, who was the 61st overall pick in the 2017 draft, believes it would be best for both him and the Packers if they parted ways.
Jones has been in and out of the lineup during his two years in Green Bay, starting 12 games over two years. The Packers opened last season with former undrafted rookie Kentrell Brice and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix at safety. Even after Clinton-Dix was traded midway through last season, Jones was bypassed for a starting job when the Packers moved Tramon Williams from cornerback to safety. It wasn’t until after Brice sustained an ankle injury in Week 10 that Jones finally got his first start of the season in Week 11.
Jones had originally reported to the Packers for the start of offseason workouts on April 8. The Packers made a significant commitment to the safety position in the offseason when they signed former Chicago Bears safety Adrian Amos to a four-year, $36 million contract in free agency and then used the 21st overall pick in the draft on Maryland safety Darnell Savage Jr.
The source said Jones has asked Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst to let him go or trade him, but to this point, the Packers have not acquiesced.
