I fully expect Jennings to be a Viking next season. Have a great time Greg.
Remember Greg,
This
is the best QB in Eden Prairie. Not likely to be active on game days though. Just sayin'.

I'm not sure it's good news that the Vikings trainer is following Greg Jennings--it's like being followed by the grim reaper.

Good ST/backup type guy to have around. You don't want to see him on the field for too long, but he can get it done in a pinch.
Much like AJ Hawk... wait.

ESPNs Clayton : "Things are going well for the Vikings and Greg Jennings, but the Packers are still in the mix to re-sign him."
of course they are, would you expect anything else?

He probably just wants to keep tabs on him after Jennings has gone this many years without being taught how to stretch in Green Bay.quote:Originally posted by Chronic Hobbit:

Titans | Brad Jones visits
Fri, 15 Mar 2013 09:40:30 -0700
"Free agent LB Brad Jones (Packers) is scheduled to visit the Tennessee Titans Friday, Mar. 15."
Titans owner Bud Adams has been having a blast spending his cash and Jones may be the next one in line for a largesse

Per a source, #Packers free agent linebacker Brad Jones is visiting the #Titans today.
A quick recap. Titans have signed 6 FA's in 3 days to the tune of $92 million before talking with Brad Jones.

Perhaps Jennings is just trying to figure out how to save face after having his hopes dashed against the reality of free agency. What a miscalculation he and his agent made.
If he goes to the Queens, he loses a great QB. If he stays in GB, he has to eat crow. Choices, choices...

If he goes to Minnesota he has to eat whatever Jarred Allen cooks.

In all reality, the Pack's training staff has been sporting Grim Reaper tendencies the last few seasons.

What miscalculation did they make? He's a free agent and is testing the market. I never read anywhere an number they expected to sign for.
I'm not sure why he would have to eat crow. Again, what has he done wrong? Maybe putting his house on market but it seems he has behaved and said all the correct things. All his teammates know this is a business. I would have to expect if he does come back, he will be greeted with open arms.
are you a trolling pussy in person....or do you just play one on the internet.
The miscalculation they made is that Jennings would be worth $11m/yr on the open market. I would figure that sort of thing would be self-explanatory to anyone with an ounce of logic.
Still, Jennings won't even get the $10m/yr GB was offering him unless Minnehaha gets desperate.

If the reporting is accurate the Packers earlier offered Greg a deal worth $10 million per and he walked away. I wouldn't call it a miscalculation as much as it was a roll of the dice that he came up empty on.
The Queens desperately need his services and we all know how they covet Packer players. I'd be surprised if they don't offer him more money than the Packers will.

You're not selling many PSL's with Ponder and Cassel on the roster. Never underestimate the power desperation.
It'd be interesting to know if the 10M is still on the table. Also, maybe this is a charade, and they'll get an offer from the Vikings, hoping to come back and ask the Packers to beat it.
Well, I never heard Jennings or his camp say they expected anything. Media reports had him possibly getting that. If there is some link out there that says the opposite, I'm more than happy to be wrong.
Not really sure why it is such a surprise he isn't getting a huge, Wallace-like offer. He's almost 30, been hurt, not real big or real fast and has played in a system that caters to WRs. And by stating that, I mean no offense to GJ...

quote:Originally posted by phaedrus:quote:So besides Rodgers the whole team is a "enormous hole" of talent? Do tell. I'm waiting.
Well, Henry, there's a lot of distance between "enormous hole of talent" and:
1. Offensive line
2. Defensive front 7
3. RB
The above is not exactly a tiny piece of the entire team personnel pie. We may have kicker as well.
So the assertion is that there are a number of teams overall better save the QB position. I think the above amount of team makeup is such that an argument might be made that this is enough of a dearth of good talent such that GM is included in the process - and one that was not perfect.
So the entire offensive line, D front 7 and RB are bad? Do I have that right? Sitton, Lang, Buluga, Matthews, Raji, Pickett, Perry, all suck balls? Is that the gist you're running with? Because the word "enormous" was used by the person you are defending and that's why it was brought into the discussion.
And where did anyone mention perfection? It wasn't. It's this assumption that will get your binary thought train called out every time.
Reports are that they dined at Manny's last night. That's a really good steak. Might have been enough to close the deal.

That it is, haven't been there yet, but have heard it's the best steak in town, I was telling my wife we should've gone to Manny's last night, just to see what was going on.

Will boo the crap out of that guy. Guess he forgot who took a chance on him as a small school receiver and what team passed on him three times (including the spot right before he was drafted).
where yous guys getting this info? not the dinner, the signing
From the source who guaranteed Jackson to GB. If Jennings signs, as expected, I hope he breaks the bank.
If it turns out Minny had to dump Winfield to overpay for Jennings, I'm sorry but I'll take that. Winfield was a pain in the @ss.
I hope Greg took them to the cleaners!

Nah. I only boo the crap out of guys who swear they will end their careers with the Packers, cry about it, and then go merrily off to try to stick it to us.
Those who put in an honest day's work for millions, and don't pledge allegiance to the green-and-gold then sign elsewhere, are only doing what most people would do: go for the green and gold.
So Dumervil agreed to salary reduction. Then this happened. Oooops:

Elvis Dumervil's contract not filed with NFL in time. Dumervil released, as Denver Post released.

WOW!!!!!! I was just reading that he agreed to a salary reduction, from 12M-8M. Crazy.
More on this:
Holy crap. Realize he can now completely cash in with another team and screw the donkeys at the same time.
quote:Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that the Broncos have released Dumervil after they did not get his paperwork regarding the reduction in salary from $12 million to $8 million until after the 2 p.m. MT deadline that made his original salary guaranteed.
According to Klis, the Broncos received the fax from Dumervil at 2:07 p.m. MT, seven minutes and one second after the Broncos had to pull the trigger to release Dumervil and avoid being on the hook for the full $12 million. The team could still re-sign Dumervil, but there would be different salary cap ramifications because Dumervil’s contract ran beyond the 2013 season.
So a settled situation that looked like another offseason win for the Broncos and John Elway has suddenly turned into a mess. They’ve got no Dumervil and will now have to scramble to find a way to bring him back or convince another free agent pass rusher to join their defense.

That will be awesome if true.

As awesome it would be to see TT, go after him, two OLB's, would take up about 25% of the cap, would be tough. He's definitely free game, and now everyone who spent ridiculous $$$ the past couple of days is kicking themselves. This will be interesting how it plays out.
Donkey fans goin' nuts on PFT.
Per Schefter, there is no fixing this. He's free to sign anywhere. His release results in 3.25 mil of cap room for the Broncos.
