Packers may have offer on the table for jennings

[Bossman641]

I was thinking that as well wrt the TE position. With the players we have at each spot, I have to say I'd rather see Finley stay than Jennings. There's a much more significant drop off to the next guy at TE.

Yep

[Tony Oday]

Finley is not good. We are keeping Jennings and getting Jackson.

[run pMc]

Me, too. If he goes to Minnesota...who the hell is going to throw to him?? Ponder isn't the answer. If he wants a little more money and the title of number one receiver...go to the Vikings. If he wants paid well, multiple chances at the Super Bowl and to play in a stadium that doesn't smell like ass...stay in Green Bay.

I believe Vikings have one more year in the Metrodome...I mean, "Mall of America Field" (whatever)...and after that two years at TCF Bank Stadium (the Gophers stadium) -- which is NOT a dome. That's gonna be chilly in January...personally, I'd rather play at Lambeau and catch passes from Rodgers than icy knuckleballs from Ponder at that field.

lol @ Icy Knuckleball!

Reminds me of the SnowBowl we played during the winter term in school. Snowmobile pants and winter boots, mobility was pretty poor! QB's attempting to throw a pass with mittens or gloves on make for some interesting ball behavior - I remember squinting at a ball going end over end through the driving snow, trying to figure out what it was going to do!

Are there little birds in the trees where you live?

Presso! RT @TomPelissero: Reiterating point in column: #Vikings aren't interested in Jennings at the current asking price of $11M-$12M/year.

Based on that rumour of a $10 million$ offer on the table fr. Ted Thompson. Which IMO is baloney. My next sentence is written to support that; that offer figure is somehow based on creativity or outrightly bogus.

In clearer terms ... it's BS.

What NFL player would ever leave the 'only team he's ever played for in the NFL', so stubbornly, for $1-2 million$ per season, or ($11-12 million$/year)?

Opps! LOL not named Wes Welker?

Give me the $$$MONEY$$$ !

[woodbuck27]

If we sign Jennings at $10M a year I'd be disappointed. Most I'd be willing to go is $32M over 4 years.

That's very generous of you; seriously generous.

[LEWCWA]

Get Jennings done! He is the straw that stirs the drink in this passing game. He can play inside and outside and be effective. He makes Jordy and Jones better. Cobb is the wildcard in this. I think he is an inside receiver, only....I love Cobb, but don't believe he is ever going to be Jennings. They have tried and failed to make Finely the "straw" year in and year out and that has failed. The guy just doesn't make others better and then pouts when he doesn't get the lead! Jennings vs Finely is an easy choice in my mind....

Jennings is facebooking about patience, lol.

I want this on a thread:

Packers' pursuit of Jennings keeps Jermichael Finley on hold

By Tyler Dunne of the Journal Sentinel Updated: 12:47 p.m.

"Suddenly, the Packers are very much in the picture for Jennings, likely waiting for the wide receiver’s price to drop into their budget. When free agency began, **the source said that Jennings asked the Minnesota Vikings for much more money than they were willing to pay. As of Wednesday morning, the Vikings had backed out of negotiations." Fr. LINK

** the source ?

It must be straight up locker room strategizing at lambeau when the talk turns to free agency.

"So what I do when I become a free agent?"

"Walk out the door, turn left, and drive until the weather is worse than here with a big freaking bag for Viking cash."

Welker got $6 mil per year, 2 years at 31.

Amendola got $6.2 mil per year, 5 years at age 27.

So that would seem to cover the floor value for Jennings. I assume he tops both these offers (yearly avg. if not years), agreed?

[Bretsky]

I listened to long interview of the Vikings GM today on NFL Network radio. Unless it was a smokescreen dude seemed to have no interesting in persuit of GJ

Who cares? What does his sister think?

[red]

didn't a "source" (eugene parker), say that if jennings didn't receive a better offer by midnight last night, that he would probably just go back to the packers

well nothing has happened yet, i'm wondering if any offers are on the table at this point, including green bay

and if green bay does have an offer on the table, when does that number start to move down? if no one else wants him, the price should be going down
