Trade Jennings?

[Fritz]

Was in primarily though? Was he always in the slot when nelson and Jones were in?

The other thing to point out about WR trade compensation is that all the players who yielded a first round pick were younger than Jennings.

Jennings's latest injury has sparked my concerns about his ability to stay healthy and have a long career. Especially the concussions. I think our culture is turning a corner in the way it looks at football players and concussions, and it may be that his career will be cut short due to the concussions, whereas even ten years ago nobody would've paid much attention and Jennings would've just kept playing. But today I think teams are more concerned with the potential long-term effects of injuries - maybe partly from genuine concern, and partly out of fear of lawsuits.

In any case, I am becoming more hesitant to sign Jennings to a long-term deal. If I were Ted, I think I'd wait until later this season and see how Jennings's health is.

Agree TT should wait until the end of the season especially if Boykin plays like Antonio Freeman.

what if he plays like the Antonio Freeman of 2001?

NO AF circa 1996 - 1998.

I can't wait to bump this thread next season.

Let's have you be responsible for breaking Boykin's arm

the concussion thing really bothers me.

What do you expect the situation will be?
- Jennings in GB with a new long-term contract;
- Jennings in GB playing under a franchise tag contract;
- Jennings playing elsewhere after signing a FA contract in the off season; or
- Jennings playing elsewhere after having been traded by GB.

I hope he will be in GB with a long term contract and I think we got about a 50 percent likelyhood of that happening. Otherwise he's a FA and gone in the offseason.

Oh, as for your injury point Patler, I bow to your superior wisdom. Perhaps he is reaching the end of his road. He sure doesn't play like it though.

I have no wisdom about the injury issue, and no insight into the future. I simply raised the question, and then refuted examples posed as evidence to the contrary. Jennings might turn out to be like Driver and the Energizer bunny, and keep going and going.

An article pointed out that Jennings has not been able to finish the last four games he has started, all for different reasons. Is it just a coincidence? Maybe. Is it the start of a time when injuries will be an ongoing issue for him and reduce his effectiveness? Again, maybe. We don't know, but for me it does increase the risk factor in signing him to a long term contract. Some guys fall off rather quickly.

Well fine, then I take back my bowing to wisdom and more give you a slight nod, with maybe a grin so you don't know what I'm thinking.

[rbaloha1]

GJ does get nicked-up a bit. Nonetheless the productivity, knowledge of offense, and A-rod chemistry trumps the slight injury history.

Franchise the dude. Maybe A-rod restructures his contract to help-out.

lets look at next season

driver might be retired. maybe we get tired of finley and his ball shit. if we also trade jennings. all of a sudden our high powered offense doesn't look so great
