So what should/would/will we do??
Jennings is no doubtedly our best weapon on offense RIGHT NOW, and doubt ANYONE could argue that. He's a team player, a beastman to contain, and has proven that Brett the Jet WAS NOT the reason he makes big plays. Without him we are screwed. Driver is getting older, Grant is tepid at best, Lee is well a TE.
The facts are this, if healthy, G-Jenn (yep just coin-phrased it
) is our and one of the top 10 playmakers in all the NFL.
According to this new article http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/33618699.html he is gonna wait till after the season, which is ok considering he's under contract through next year (2009).
What kind of money is he worth? I ask this question, because, he if he stays healthy will IMHO prove to be worth more money than all the big-game WR's making loot right now.
TO- 9 million
Randy- 9 million
Ocho Homo- 9 million
Roy Williams (1st, 3rd, 6th round picks in trade for one 1000 yard season...YAH GO COWBOYS
)- 9 million
...etc...The best are declining and old/or way overpaid (Roy????)
But Dallas usually sets the market. If G-Jenn stays healthy, I have no doubt he'd command 11 million right now on an open market at his age (25) esp. in a year or two with a potentially uncapped market after 2009.
What do we need/should we pay him? I'd like 6 years, but would take 5 for 60 looking how (as shitty as OUR economy is, we all still sit at home or a bar and watch these mofo's so the NFL will only get bigger).
What's it gonna take keep him? I say 5 and 60 if he waits till next year, else if he caves 5 and 55. Big win for G-Jenn and us either way as he is the only thing that makes us ok on offense. Imagine him out or gone for the season.
Thoughts??....
