Jennings signs with Vikings

[woodbuck27]

My point is that everybody is bashing TT because of this deal, when we probably don't know half the story.

It was all right in front of us like writing on a wall.

What exactly did you find on the internet about Jennings relationship with the Packers?

Personally I'm going to remember Greg Jennings for the fine WR that he was for the Green Bay Packers. He wasn't at all happy in Green Bay this season and that fact was obvious. He rolled the dice in free agency and landed a good contract and position for himself and his family. All of that was his business.

And hating anyone who wears the purple is our business.

Greg, you should finish your career here. It drives those people nuts! Just don't expect to go to any Super Bowls.

Personally I'd be pissed if TT paid that much to keep Jennings. He's a luxury, not a need and high risk given age and recent injuries. Will be disturbed though if we don't soon hear that Rodgers and Matthews aren't soon extended.

I've already posted that I won't post 'the specifics of' that information.

Jennings insists that he’s not old

Posted by Mike Florio on March 15, 2013, 10:24 PM EDT

" “I’m not old,” Jennings said during his introductory press conference, via NFL.com. “I’m 29. I’m not old. Let me throw that out there. I am 29-years-old, I will not be 30 until well after the league year starts.”

Regardless, he’ll be 30 on September 21 — early in the 2013 season. But he nevertheless scored a healthy contract from the Vikings despite his age and the fact that he didn’t have a very good contract year." Fr. LINK

Comment woodbuck27:

Let me see!??

a) A street in Green Bay, Wisconsin named after him.

b) A $47.5 million$ contract with the Minnesota Vikings for the security of his family.

What should he have chosen?

[Brando19]

Ummm...how about the $10 million a year with the Pack that he foolishly turned down...and the street?

Agreed. It's like we're in second grade and he has a secret he's not telling.

[Joemailman]

Anybody screw up by buying a Jennings jersey last year?

[Brando19]

If so I'd say its on fire right now.

Kwitcherbitchin' you buncha' pussies. Fer chrissakes, you all got some sand in your collective vag'?

Fer fucks sake, the dude is 30, he's past his prime, he is routinely injured, he won't have ARod pitchin' to him with Jordy pulling defenses away from him.

Furthermore, although the Vikes fleeced the 'Hawks for Harvin, they have grossly overpaid for GJ.

What I discovered and splashing that on this forum will not change the water on the beans.

If anyone on this forum imagined that Greg Jennings was happy in Green Bay this season they wern't paying enough attention to his ways. I thought I saw something months ago and began simply paying attention more to him and began digging. It's amazing what may be published on the internet that can come down to haunt you. Maybe something based in emotion that you regret.

You can fuss all you want. This isn't a tea party. This is a football forum. To post what I discovered won't do any good and might cause some harm. I've chosen to simply keep it to myself. If you have to get 'all in a tizzy' over my choice.

Deal with yourself.

Thought I would chime in on this - if Jennings plays all 16 games and gets ~1000 yards receiving, we will receive a 3rd round comp pick for him, not a 4th or 5th as Red suggested.

In the last few years, I began to sour on Jennings, though not too badly. He was my favorite player from his rookie year up to about 2008.

In 2009, he made a mistake in the playoff game that I will always remember. In 2010, he let a pass go off his hands that would have been a 70+ yard touchdown and it was intercepted by some hapless Lions DB. In 2011, he dropped (Pass Interference, to be fair) a beautifully thrown TD pass on the left sideline from Rodgers. In this last year against the 49ers, he let a ball go through his hands that would have been a TD to cut the deficit to 7.

I know there were a couple of backyard plays that Jennings sneaked open and Rodgers missed badly (in the Giants playoff game last year, for one example) and I think another crucial time as well, but I think that there must have been something going on under the table between Jennings and Rodgers. They had great chemistry in 2008 but then it all started falling apart.

Oh well, I'll take the comp pick and hope for the best.
