Trade Jennings?

[rbaloha1]

Its called "evolving",...constantly evolving!

Finley is still baby/immature/youngster. Hardly ready to be a "go to" receiver.

Are we witnessing another T.O.?

Finley can be butterfingers but from all accounts he is a hard worker and not a lockerroom cancer like TO.

+1

At least someone gets its, I truly believe that since our team is fulled with such high character guys some fans pile up on Finley. Let me know when this guy gets in trouble with the law or starts a yelling match on the sidelines.

maybe fin the rookie but certainly not now. he's already a go-to receiver. just needs to eliminate the occasional drop (as do the other receivers). then he'll be a consistent go-to guy.

Can not be a go to receiver if you drop the ball as much as Finley.

If a receiver who drops the ball are not go to receivers then Jordy and JJ are not either. If they are not, it would make zero sense to trade Jennings.

Re: Finley: I think he's a very good player and worth keeping. The dropsies tend to come in groups and can be contagious thru the receiving corps...I get it, but as a fan it can be frustrating. I'd really like to see him (and the WR's) start catching the ball -- and play as elite as people say they are. That's where any issue I have with Finley stops...from what I can tell, he's not a locker cancer or a Mossy Cade. Don't care if he likes Twitter, don't understand some of the hate either.

Re: Jennings. I'm starting to come around to the trading option. If I were TT, I'd at least listen to offers. He's 29, has been hurt lately, makes $9.2M, and wants Fitzgerald money. If the team can't tag him and stay under the cap then they have to trade/let him walk. Long term, I just don't see how they can sign him, Rodgers, CM3, Raji. Farther ahead, you have Finley, Burnett and Newhouse due for new contracts.

It's unclear GB has an answer at S this season, who plays C next season (or if Saturday can continue to cheat Father Time), plus people want to ditch Hawk...TT can address a lot of things in the draft, and I think WR is one of them. The offense is much better with GJ, but the WR group is deep enough (esp. if you include Finley and D.J. Williams) to still be good without him. TT has had decent luck drafting WR's and I think that will continue.

[Pugger]

How do you know he wants Fitzgerald money? All he said is he is after a certain amount of money and told his agent not to bother him during the season unless the Packers have an offer with that amount. I think some of us and McGinn are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

Exactly my point. No receiver has stepped-up in Jennings absence to say, "I am the man."

Negotiating fodder for GJ.

Yea. Wish McGinn never published that article. Status quo is best in GJ matters.

You know, I never really noticed it, but now that you say it, it does seem that packer drops do come in groups and through out the whole recieving corp. Repped for openin my eyes.

Greg Jennings makes 7.347M.

Was going off the JSO story that he wants that kind of money. Don't think he'll get it, but I think his agent started the price in that neighborhood.

Greg Jennings makes 7.347M.

Yeah, I was going off a caption in the JSO article. I see elsewhere online his cap # shows as $7,947,500...my bad.

Regardless, I think he's going to want more than what he's making, probably 'settle' for Vincent Jackson-level money. With other players (Rodgers, CM3) higher on the pecking order, I'm beginning to seriously doubt he's coming back. If somehow they did resign Jennings, would anyone blame Jordy if he asked to renegotiate his contract?

On the flip side, what are the odds nobody goes after him and he comes back a la James Jones? I could see Philbin in MIA or maybe STL chasing him.

I think Jordy is more likely to try for a renegotiation if GJ doesn't come back. He's be a really underpaid #1, as opposed to being just an underpaid #2.

No way in hell nobody goes after GJ if he hits the open market, unless he's got some form of leprosy and his body parts start falling off!

IMO Jordy's MO is not to renegotiate a bad contract.

Should GJ not be resigned, Cobb shall become the number one. The problem with Cobb becoming the number one is finding a suitable return man (something Cobb expressed since he would like to concentrate on becoming a better receiver.)
