Time for TT to show why he was pinching pennies

[bobblehead]

I would say that at some point before this season is over we should lock up Collins, Jennings, Rodgers and maybe a few others long term. I like Bigby, but with rouse looking good it may not be as important. Although we should be able to lock up bigby for less since he was undrafted and is in a near Ryan Grant situation.

BTW, they say it takes 3 years to grade a draft....how is TT looking now?

[hurleyfan]

Jennings is a MUST, and probably Collins now that he is playing this well. Does TT wait one year to see if Collins' high level of play is more than a one year wonder?

Bigby I'm not sure yet.. He doesn't have the leverage Ryan Grant did.. IMO

Jennings, for sure. He's been staying healthy, so he's got to be a huge priority.

Rodgers - yes, but let's wait a few games to be sure he stays healthy.

Collins - I think we see the same trajectory we saw with Sharper. He's highly touted, but he sucks season one, season two, people get anxious, then season three, and bam. He's good. Lock 'em up.

Bigby - I'd wait just a bit to see how he plays when he comes back.

Junius Coston - not yet.

Junius Coston - not yet.

Fritz, we've been through this before, you can never have enough highly paid guards. Even injured ones or those that lack the ability to win a job. He's a sign at all costs kind of guy

I wonder how much Jennings and Rodgers will cost together?

Same reason why you bump pointless threads.

AR right now...even an injured AR is better than 1/2 the QBs out there

Better than half? Isn't he in the top 10?

Because TT runs the Packers football operations and this is a PACKER board.

[RashanGary]

good topic btw. It'll be an interesting next couple weeks and whole off season. There are several decisions to be made, some not as big as mentioned here, but several smaller ones to go with the big ones as well.

TT has proven he is willing to show players the money. Other than Grant I think he has made the right call when it comes time to pay. Jennings is gonna get his bank swollen for sure. Rodgers is getting paid too if he keeps it up. Not sure about Bigby but him missing time should help keep his price down. Collins is playing great, almost too great like many other guys who have been in contract years. I think he will be the one TT lets go to another team.

Jennings, for sure. He's been staying healthy, so he's got to be a huge priority.

Rodgers - yes, but let's wait a few games to be sure he stays healthy.

Collins - I think we see the same trajectory we saw with Sharper. He's highly touted, but he sucks season one, season two, people get anxious, then season three, and bam. He's good. Lock 'em up.

Bigby - I'd wait just a bit to see how he plays when he comes back.

Junius Coston - not yet.

If Jennings leaves GB it's because he wants to not because TT doesn't try and pay him. He and Rodgers are #1 and #2 as long as Rodgers stay's out of the hospital.

Collins is just hitting stride so there is no reason to let the guy go now unless he gets totally unreasonable in contract negotiations.

[Bretsky]

I trust that TT will spend the money

He'll look to lock up Rodgers and others.

I think Jennings might be the challenge though; I just hope the franchise tag stays around so we have that leverage on him and can use it. Jennings sounds like a guy who wants to test the market and Lee Evans just got a deal for over 9MIL a year.

[Fritz]

I'd hate to see Jennings not at least consider just signing a big extension. I wonder if it's a bit of an ego thing to test the market, if your home team is offering you a boat load of money to stay.

And yes, Junius Coston - you need to settle this crazy guard situation down. Sign Junius to a big contract before he gets off injured reserve and gets antsy about getting the big contract elsewhere.

First off, I have never told people where to post...that is other people doing that. I'm a big fan of do what you want and I will ignore what I want.

Second, this is as much about who we need to lock up and the core of the team as it is about TT.

There are my stated reasons..now as far as I am concerned you can post whatever you want wherever you want...I'll do the same.
