The Green Bay Packers must add some more depth to the cornerback room before the start of the 2025 season, as the current depth on the boundary behind Carrington Valentine and Keisean Nixon is mostly unproven.

To fill this need, NFL Rumors’ Logan Ulrich believes the Packers should sign former Las Vegas Raiders starting defender Jack Jones.

“Jones’ track record of ball production should fit in well with Packers DC Jeff Hafley’s emphasis on that side of the ball. The former Boston College head man should also have some familiarity with Jones from his time nearby when the corner was in New England,” Ulrich wrote.

Jones started 16 games for the Raiders in 2024, snagging three interceptions with 16 passes defended. The 27-year-old is a solid starting corner when he’s playing at his best, but Jones was incredibly inconsistent last year, and his effort was also called into question multiple times throughout the season.

Las Vegas’ new regime of Pete Carroll and John Spytek decided to move on from Jones in April, and he is still on the free agency market. Though the Arizona State product isn’t a consistent starter, Jones can provide adequate depth for the Packers in the secondary and also step in as a starter if needed.

Additionally, signing Jones should be pretty cheap. Green Bay still has $35 million in cap space to utilize, so adding Jones to the cornerback room is a no-brainer. The former fourth-round pick would bring 21 games of starting experience to the position group and immediately bolster the depth at one of the weakest spots on Matt LaFleur’s roster.
