  • Jennings close to deal



    You certainly wish you could have 53 players on the team with Greg's attitude. It's good when your two biggest, young stars have the character that Greg and Aaron have.

        I shouldn't count my chickens before they're hatched, but who is up after Greg?

        Collins?

          I believe so...

          I was thinking Justin Harrell needs a raise

            I think Collins was the better player last year, but I might try to lock up Spitz and Colledge next. I think those guys were solid last year, and might end up being a better investment. I guess it depends on how far apart the team is with each guy.

              Perhaps. Kampman would be the no brainer if we were still rockin' the 4-3, but since he's now playing LB I think we've gotta take a "wait and see" approach. If he plays poorly or isn't happy playing LB than a long-term contract won't work. I think Pickett is worth a new contract, too.

                Driver can wait
                Kampman can be tagged (or traded, depending how this 3-4 thing works out)
                Colledge and Spitz are going to need new deals.

                  Time to rework Ruvell's deal. Grossly underpaid.

                    The article also mentions Colledge, Spitz, Pickett and Kampman as needing new deals. I'm not sure how I'd prioritize that group right now.

                    We might actually use up our cap space this year.

                    Nevertheless, I have to hope that Jennings gets rewarded for being a class act about his new contract. What do you experts expect he'll be paid?

                      Hey boiga, where have you been? Haven't seen you lately.

                      I think if it was up to me, I'd like up the two o-lineman also. Simply because Thompson has had a hard time finding quality o-lineman, and with Clifton/Tauscher gone we are going to need some vets on the line.

                          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).

                            I thought the draft went pretty well, but I don't know about you.

                              I think many have pointed to Lee Evans' extension - 4y, $37M
