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.

Good for Jennings. He isn't the second best WR in the NFL but he sure is up there.

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.

Which would be similar to the deal Evans got - 4y/$37.5M

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?

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)!

Deal

This one was a no brainer. You have to keep your only blue chip player.
