According to ESPN:
The contract has a maximum value of $47.5 mlllion, with $18 million guaranteed. The contract is worth a minimum of $27 million over the first three years, and could be as much as $28.5 million over the first three years if he goes to the Pro Bowl, according to ESPN and media reports
Way more than we should have (or would have) paid.

its not the end of the world for us, but it is upsettingOriginally posted by Joemailman View PostI don't see this as a great calamity. I don't think the Vikings are appreciably better than they were before they lost Harvin/signed Jennings, and I don't think the Packers are appreciably worse without Jennings.
it doesn't make them the better team, but it does close the gap between the two

"One of the complaints I found compelling, if not persuasive, about Thompson during Favre-a-poolza was Christl's argument that they should have just bitten the bullet and released Favre rather than trade him to a select team. I felt that Favre was the wrong person to allow to go to Minny (where he surely would have landed) and represented a direct threat to the well-being of a franchise.Originally posted by pbmax View PostIts not a given that the Vikes would have coughed up picks for Jennings, we need to see the contract to hazard any kind of guess. And after his injury further muddled his market, I don't think anyone wanted to risk $10 mil guaranteed on him.
Yes he goes to a rival but its the Vikings and not the Bears or Lions. And that contract, whatever it is now prevents them from getting younger and better. Their defense needs a rebuild and Greg will be quite well along by then.

But as for other players, I prefer the Packers giving the players who have abided by their contract terms the ability to hit the market and try to get the best deal.
I don't think this should stop Ted from tagging, but if you aren't going to tag, I really don't care if they all end up in Minny.

Pbmax...flip that over and simply ask yourself. If you were Brett Favre how would you look at it.

With all the draft picks for Percy Harvin and Greg Jennings many would argue that the Vikings are better today and in the future than when they had Percy Harvin.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostI don't see this as a great calamity.

Losing Greg Jennings certainly hurts our teams WR depth and must be addressed. Otherwise losing him is one of those 'no fault no harm' things. His time with the Packers was done.** Since 2006 3 X Pro Pickem' Champion; 4 X Runner-Up and 3 X 3rd place.

No wonder Greg Jennings looked so happy during his press converence on NFL Access. He did very well for his family.Originally posted by Teamcheez1 View PostAccording to ESPN:

Fucking Packers west as usual. Not good enough to draft and develop their own so they poach when they can. Too bad they will still suck. Fuck you Greg. I'll be booing up until his injury in week 5 and then again week 11.Originally posted by 3irty1This is museum quality stupidity.
