Driver, Woodson and Jennings

[swede]

Jennings must not be a must-keep because the Packers and Jennings have not opened any negotiations for a new contract. Meanwhile, his GB home is up for sale and free agency is fast approaching.

This is correct. Between the few little things that did happen (real estate) and the major things that didn't happen (negotiations) and the damned reality of the salary cap, AR, and CMIII, there will be no more Jennings. It is a business and keeping Jennings could be made to work, at the cost of some other players, but when consulted by a happy medium the icosahedral floatie in the Magic 8 Ball comes up "outlook not so good."

I saw someone propose Indy as a destination for Jennings earlier. I mean, if he has to go somewhere, what a great place for all parties involved if he ended up there.

Ryan Pickett - 33
John Kuhn - 30


And then your next oldest players likely to be on the roster next year are Aaron Rodgers and AJ Hawk - 29 years.

Wow. That's a bit of a shocker.

Mike, you disappoint me; I had expected you'd provide us with some of that vintage AJ Hawk "shocker" celebration footage.

Every now and then, I like to switch it up a little.

BTW, we need to get the Bares fans back on this board, I have an urge to call someone a "fox-eared asshole."

Releasing Woodson, Driver and Saturday make sense because they are not the players they once were. I thought Jennings played well when he returned from his surgery. I wonder if TT is waiting to see what the market will really be for Jennings once FA begins. If he is he is being smart. Why offer Greg the moon/or tag him and later find out we over paid him?

I would love to know what numbers Jennings and the Packers exchanged. I wonder if the Packers simply don't want to risk a contract with him given two years of injuries or find him eminently replaceable with the current roster. If the Packers offered some sizable money or years, I'd believe the former and that Jennings thinks there is more out there. If the latter, I wonder if the Packers handed over an offer at all.

Is there a way out of that without hurting feelings? Insult him with "Good luck somewhere else...whatever your number is, it is too much," or insult him with "We're thinking vet min with 'not likely to be earned' incentives for keeping your sister quiet."

Keeping his sister quiet....priceless.

The vikings have 19 mil cap space and the bears have 24 mil in cap space. Either could easily afford him.

Where are you seeing the Bears have 24 million? I've only seen them having ~11M or so, and they are going to have to open the checkbook for Melton. I'm not sure they have the cap room for Jennings.

Jennings knows what we all know. Thompson isn't dumb enough to throw top 10 WR money at a guy who's going to be on the wrong side of 30 and has seen more than his share of injuries recently. Some other dumb GM will throw good money at Jennings, and with this being his last chance at a big contract he has to take it. I doubt Thompson offered anything to Jennings, because what he would've offered might seem disrespectful. Thompson merely thanked Jennings for his considerable contributions to the team and good luck with his future endeavors.

Which Gm or owner will throw the money at Jennings? Jerrah Jones?

Double J just spent a shit-ton of $ on a new whip to take to the Combine:
