YAY!
YAY!
Thank God! Now I can wear my Jennings' jersey to games for a couple more years.
Ted is spending money like a drunken sailor.
That's great news.
Although, I was kind of enjoying seeing Greg be assaulted by reporters about why he isn't complaining more.
Wow, give it up for the TV guys. Wasn't Bedard or the Press Gazette, Mortender, Schefter, Glazer or Florio. Just a run of the mill talking hairdo got the scoop.
Good for Jennings and the Packers.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

It would appear that he didn't leave any meat on the bone for Driver. If that's the case, I'm ok with that.
That would make it a 9.5 - 10 mil/yr. deal.
Tightwad Teddy lets the mothballs fly out of the ol' wallet. For his own guy - on the upswing of his career - with a great team attitude.
Great signing and sends a strong signal to the team about how to get rewarded.
Can't wait to see the details.
Although, I have to wonder how much of that is guaranteed and how much incentive based.
Details on this one should be fascinating.
HOFer
Which would be similar to the deal Evans got - 4y/$37.5M
Larry just got 4 years 40 million but hes the best WR in the league...
Roy Williams of Dallas got 6 years 54 Million = 9 mill a year...
T.J. Housh got 8 mill a year...
I could see Jennings getting anywhere between 7.5-9.5 mill a year... (Expect the contract to be front loaded) Packers are 27 mill under the cap... Ala when they signed Charles Woodson type of deal...
Ex:
4/26/2006: Signed a seven-year, $52 million contract. The deal included a $4 million signing bonus and $10.5 million in first-year guarantees. 2009: $5.5 million, 2010: $5 million, 2011: $5.5 million, 2012: $6.5 million, 2013: Free Agent. Cap charge: $7.407 million (2009).
^ As I posted in the other topic... It has to be front loaded, hes probably making 14 mill this year...
Great news.
I remember someone saying we should try to trade him before losing him in free agency... made me laugh then, makes me laugh now.
Way to go (all those involved)!
This one was a no brainer. You have to keep your only blue chip player.
Exciting!! Jennings is a great player!!
After AP, he's the 2nd best weapon in the NFCN.
3rd in my opinion...
You forgot about Calvin...
HOFer
I wouldn't argue against Calvin, but it's fair to put Greg in his class. He doesn't have the speed/height combination, but his route running, ball skills, and ability after the catch are elite.3rd in my opinion...
You forgot about Calvin...
Al Harris has testified that his ability to beat press coverage at the LOS is also second to none. That's an ability many long-legged lopers like Johnson struggle with.
For all those who wanted TT to sign big FA's(Haynesworth, Canty etc.) this year, this is exhibit A on why TT's approach isn't all bad.
