John Jones (born February 6, 1952) is an American former football executive who briefly served as president of the Green Bay Packers.

In 2006, Jones was promoted from vice president and chief operating officer (COO) to president and COO, with Harlan retaining ultimate executive power over the Packers organization as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for another year until Harlan's planned retirement in May 2007.

Shortly before the planned hand over to Jones, the Packers put him on an indefinite leave of absence and then ultimately severed ties with him.

[1] During his first stint with the council, Jones helped develop a collective bargaining agreement that initiated a salary cap system for the NFL.

[2] In between his two stints with the NFL Management Council, Jones was hired by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who were a newly formed expansion team.

[1] Jones, who worked under the team's vice president for football operations, was initially hired to manage the Jaguars' salary cap and player contracts.

[7][8] Although his health and recent heart operation were noted as the official reasons for leaving the team, numerous articles reported on Jones' management style as a major contributor to his resignation.

[9] During his time with the Packers, Jones worked in almost every area of the organization with a focus on financial management, facilities and other non-football team operations.

[10][11] Harlan and Jones advocated strongly across the state for the passing of the referendum necessary to authorize the tax, noting the necessity of the redevelopment of Lambeau Field for the long-term financial stability of the Packers.

[10][11] The redevelopment helped make Lambeau Field a year-round destination by expanding the atrium to provide space for events, retail and a larger Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.

He has been active in the Green Bay and Milwaukee communities, serving on various boards of directors for local organizations and businesses.
