Jennings signs with Vikings

[red]

You really think TT offered him $10M a year? I highly doubt it. I'm not as worried about losing GJ as some of you. Back away from the cliff.

if GJ would have gone to any of 29 other teams i wouldn't be bitching

you Cannot let him go to your closest competition in your own division, for nothing

it might not hurt our team much, but you just let a rival get better

unacceptable

I'm not on a cliff. Football is not my life, it is something I enjoy. I'm simply pointing out that with as much cap room as we have I think TT could have handle this one better. Make him play another year on the team if nothing else.

TT SUCKS at this free agency thing! This really sucks and is gonna hurt this team.

I agree with this. If anything make him play another year on the team (tag him) if it means he goes to the Vikings. But I suspect this had a personal side to it as well but Jennings is not saying anything.

He wanted to sign anywhere but green bay. I have a strong feeling he just didnt want to play for us anymore. If he did he would have worked something out. I have a feeling it has something to do with Rodgers. I don't think his sister bashing Rodgers was just random.

I'm aware that you were a fan of Greg Jennings and so his leaving may cause you mixed feelings. It comes down to this. What will be...will be.

I saw some proof just yesterday that supports your feeling that Greg Jennings wasn't at all happy playing for the Packers and with Aaron Rodgers.

I won't post that proof on this forum. I had to dig to find it. Anyone else can simply do the same.

What I found made it obvious to me that his time in Green Bay was over.

I guess we'll have to put this one out to pasture:

i went to the same college as GJ, hell i watched him play B-ball when he was in high school. when he was drafted by GB i sent him and email welcoming him to the packers, and he replied. i loved him as a packer and though he was the perfect "packer-person"

but as of today, he's a turncoat little bitch

he's the enemy, the lowest of the low

Loved me some Greg Jennings, but they don't exactly need him. Cobb will fill that spot just fine.

i remember it being like a holiday every year when oberon hit the taps

Do you think he'll respond to your new email telling him to break a leg?

Its 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.

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.

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.

[Old School]

We have found the enemy and he is Greg.

[Joemailman]

thats why you tag and trade

you don't let your good players go to your rivals

and the tag wouldn't have cost more then TT was willing to pay anyways

I'm wondering if the league has told teams not to use the franchise tag to trade someone. Don't you have to wonder why no one else is doing it?
