Julio Jones is headed to Tampa Bay to join Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, but the Green Bay Packers were one of the teams interested in the veteran wide receiver, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
It’s unclear when the interest occurred and how aggressive the Packers were in acquiring Jones, who is 33 years old and coming off an injury-plagued season with the Tennessee Titans. The Packers signed Sammy Watkins in April and then drafted three receivers, including Christian Watson in an aggressive trade-up in the second round.
After signing Osirus Mitchell on Tuesday, the Packers now have 11 receivers on the 90-man roster entering training camp.
