The majority of you are so quick to judge without knowing the facts. Fact is, this is the correct way to spell Greg’s sisters name. It’s Valyncia… Not Valencina.. another Fact: Greg is that same Humble guy he has always been. How do I know? Because we are family and that is how we were raised. Fact: to you “so called” packer fans, learn how to do some research and not take any article that you read as gospel. Greg has yet to speak publicly about his asking price, what makes you believe this article? Oh I’m sorry, I forgot, It’s on the internet so therefore it must be true. In closing, being a Detroit Lion fan, I’m happy he is leaving GB. I hate the packers. But I love my family enough to stomach GB enough to support him…

The sad part about all of this is since I read this here I have found 3 articles (nat. football post, couple Wisc. papers) that refer to this site and this article about him asking for 12 mil. and it is all b.s. It is all derived from scuttlebut? Everyone claims everyones elses sources but in all actuality no one has a source at all.

Wallace has one branch on his route tree. Jennings, if healthy, is a much more accomplished player, but neither is worth 12M. Not even close.

Yo Packer faithful, you need to stop making the rest of us look bad. I havent missed a minute of Packer Football in 10 years except for the parts where I dozed off during “run out the clock”. Where did this ego thing come from? are you getting him confused with Jermichael Finley because they are both black? Finley is the one who complained constantly about his role in the offense and his relationship with Rodgers. Jennings is a consummate professional. Heck, DRIVER complained more about his reduced role than Jennings did.

This is not due to his ego, and it’s not due to him going “Hollywood” – the whole team did that. I will never give State Farm a dime of my money with the way they paraded the entire team out every single commercial break. Nobody is calling Rodgers “Hollywood”, nor Raji, Nor Matthews. It’s not even about his skill as a player. It’s about not needing to pay that much money when other players have stepped up. This doesn’t have to be a negative thing, sometimes a team is just flushed in talent and can better spend the money elsewhere. if Cobb, Nelson, and Jones didn’t take quantum leaps forward this year, you can bet TT would be shelling out the cash for a long term deal, and you can bet Jennings would do one that was structured in a way to be salary cap friendly.

We should probably not be so quick to turn something into “this guy sucks” or “that guy is a jerk.” It’s like that college girlfriend you had that was a great time and had nothing wrong with her but then you graduated and moved to different states and wished each other luck. Sometimes its just time to move on.

Packers aren’t going to pay him three or four times what their next-richest WR gets, which is also why Finley is probably gone. Jennings is very good when healthy, but GB isn’t going to start doing stuff like that as long as Thompson is around. Thanks Greg and good luck.

I don’t think anyone is going to give jennings close to 12 million per year. However, the comparison of Jennings to TJ Housh when TJ hit the market isn’t a good comparison. Jennings is a more accomplished receiver than Housh was (15.4 ypg vs. 11.3, 53 tds in 7 years vs 43 tds in 8) and most importantly Jennings is two full years younger than Housh was.

Most people don’t think there is a chance the Pack franchises Jennings, but I think there is a strong debate. The pack proved willing to do so with Ryan Pickett 2 seasons ago and Pick was 30 at the time I believe. The question is can the pack fit extensions for Rodgers and Clay into the cap and have enough left over to keep Jennings. The decision could come down to keeping Jennings in favor of Finley and/or Hawk.

Greg Jennings = TJ WhosYourMama haha. Wow I’m not a fan on GJ85 anymore but the dude has got way better skills than TJ. Sadly someone will overpay GJ (like the fins or vikes) and give him 45 mill for 4 years and he’ll spend the rest of his career with a horse$&@% QB and finishing each season at the end of December. Good luck with that Greg.

He’ll be lucky to get 6 mil a year. He’s a good WR but a lot of his produciton is a by product of the pass heavy system they run in Green Bay.

And he gets hurt a lot too.

Well, I agree that seems high, but keep in mind we paid Bernard Berrian 7.4 million his first year. Compared to that $12m for Jennings is almost a steal.

I think Jennings is saying he wants $12 million so that the Packers might think the $10 million tag is a bargain. Jennings might be happy to get the tag because he might not get that on the open market. But, if he can convince the Packers that they are getting a bargain he thinks they might jump. Personally, I don’t think he gets $10 million and I don’t think the Packers need him or keep him.

Minnesota will over pay for him to stick it to G.B. (Jennings has been setting that up for months) but not to the tune of 12 mil per.

The only way he makes 12 mil next year is if a team pays him 8 and Old Spice pays him 4

This guy has been injured the past three years and missed a ton of games. He is not worth the risk at 12 mil. I think he is smart to ask for the money in hopes the Pack pass on him and he ends up with a pay raise.
Note: He put his GB house on the market before the end of the season.

It will be interesting to see how a WR fares with a non-eilte QB throwing at him. Must have been nice to always catch balls from either Favre or Rodgers.

If he goes to MN, good luck with Ponder…

There you go again:

“but Jennings is far closer to T.J. Houshmandzadeh ”

TJ was never the WR Jennings has been. Stick to attacking people for their religious beliefs, it’s what you’re good at.

As a Packers fan I’ve been watching him for a long time. This dude’s attitude has changed quite a bit from humble to “I need to get me some me”. He’s gone hollywood and it’s definitely gone to his head. The appearance in CSI as well as the deodorant commercial on the beach have had an effect.

Later bro. We don’t want him back as now I think he’d be a distraction in the locker room.

It was good, for the most part, while it lasted, but No Mas!

In his 7 years as a pro, he’s missed an entire season’s worth of games (16). Missing 15% of your games before even hitting 30 is not going to get him what he’s looking for.

$12 mil a year is too much. He could maybe command $10 mil a year but even that is stretching it. Nice player and versatile but for a WR to make $10mil plus they have to be able to beat double coverages and he most certainly can’t.
