Uh-oh. Early sign that Jennings won't be re-signed?

[Guiness]

Jenning's 4yr $27million deal sure looks like a bargain now that Fitz and Johnson have theirs!

[Tony Oday]

I would not want to sink $16 million into Jennings...$9 million at MOST, I do not know if Jennings is elite off of this team and I do not think Jordy is as good without Jennings.

[Lurker64]

I think if Jennings were 6-5 with 4.3 speed, there's a real chance the Packers would have to get close to $16m/year to keep him. But he's not, Jennings is 5-11 with 4.4 speed. He's among the best route-runners in the business, but 5-11 4.4 guys who can play football just aren't rare like 6-5 4.3 guys who can play football are. I do think that around $9-$10m/year would get it done with Jennings.

Can't we have two good receivers without assuming that one will be dumped? Jordy can be good and we still have Jennings.

we can...if one of them doesn't cost us $15/mil or thereabouts to resign.

Not saying he'll get, or even want that. But I think he's going to be expensive.

[RashanGary]

With Woodson, next year and the year after. . . . The signing bonus will count against the cap, but we're paying that regardless.

The only question is, whether he's worth the 6.5 base he's getting. I think he will be.

[MadtownPacker]

Fuck that! You are talking about taking one of the smoothest gears out of the machine. Show him the money!!!

[gbgary]

Jennings is not going anywhere.

THIS (unless he becomes an injury issue). it's clear none of the other guys are even close to Jennings quality or there'd be lots of talk about it and he'd be taking playing time away from Jennings. as for jordy being elite, where's that table that shows his productivity compared to the rest of the league?

Jennings will sign a reasonable deal. There was a Wilde blog post with a quote from Jennings joking around telling his agent like "yo, take whatever they give you" ... you can find it on his ESPNMilwaukee.com blog. No way they don't sign him for 8-10m.

Jennings is absolutely elite. His numbers would be better on a team that didn't have so many other good weapons. In 2010, after Finley was injured, Jennings was as good as any receiver in the NFL. That said, it won't take 16 million a year to sign him. What the Lions gave Johnson was crazy.

Size is irrelevant. Jennings and Finley make Nelson better.

GJ can easily be franchised.

[Gunakor]

I don't see Greg Jennings as the diva WR out for the biggest deal possible. Winning seems to be his motivation. And the team he plays on is 29-7 over the last 2 seasons. He truly loves playing here. He obviously isn't going to find a more talented QB anywhere in the NFL to deliver accurate balls downfield for him to make plays on. I don't see him going anywhere, and I highly doubt TT would need to use a franchise tag on him to keep him here.

Size is irrelevant? Aloha, your girlfriend only said that to make you feel better.

I thought for sure this thread would be about Donald Driver by now.

Are you referring to the idea that since they've kept Driver around there's no way in hell they're letting Jennings get away?
