Packers’ Jones arrested in January

“But I’m totally the opposite of what I thought I’d be”. I knew he had tremendous potential. Jones’ name had never come up in regards to off-the-field issues before, he’s got no prior convictions or citations in Wisconsin and simply seemed nothing more than another in a recent string of underachieving draft picks by Packers GM Ted Thompson.

In a phone interview discussing his July 18 induction into the Packers Hall of Fame, Favre revealed what was on his mind during his final years in Green Bay.

But the relationship turned sour when Favre decided he wanted to retire in March 2008, the team looked to Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback of the future.

Jones was cited by police for marijuana possession at 12:29 a.m. the morning after the game, just hours after the Packers’ plane returned to Green Bay following the loss, the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported on Monday.

Brett Favre gave 16 years of his life in helping rebuild the Packers into National Football League contenders and Green Bay became his second home. And he took his “share of the blame” for the breakup. “It was a surreal feeling”.

“As much as on-stage at the NFL Honors I think that was important for fans and the team to publicly see us coming together, I think time is the ultimate catalyst for things coming back together”, Rodgers said in a Q&A with ESPNWisconsin.com in June. I got a sense that there wasn’t many options on my part. Brittany’s husband is a soccer guy – he’s actually from England – so they may play soccer, they may play football, I don’t know.

“When people try to create a wedge either with me or a player, or me and the organization, there isn’t one”.

The 45-year-old Favre threw for 71,838 yards, 508 touchdowns and 336 interceptions on an 86.0 passer rating in 302 career regular-season games for the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings, per ESPN stats. “But again, what I did speaks for itself”.
