why the hate? he's not costing us 18 mil guaranteed.
The stupidity is really flowing tonight. Jennings was a terrific Packer for seven seasons and one of the biggest reasons we won the Super Bowl. So he went for the money in his last legitimate stab at free agency. That makes him the same as 99% of professional athletes.
That may be true Heyward, but how many go to their worst rival??
How many? All of them, if their worst rival also happened to be the only other team interested.
Good Point. I still lost all respect for him. I hope at some point he realizes the difference between passes from the best QB in the NFL vs one of the worst.

He didn't sign with the Bears.
Clearly Jennings was tired of being a Packer... he needed a change. So it was time to move on. We never know what happens behind the scenes professionally and personally, but the Packers must move on too. He served his time but he will never be remembered as Driver will be. He's already starting to fade from my memory...

He does realize that, but at this point in his career, he's looking for his last big payday. He's already won, so now he's going for the money most likely.
I'm not upset at the guy, he did good things here and he didn't leave with any animosity IMO.
he's the one who has to play for that crappy team now, while we are fans of the Pack. I think we come out on top in that regard
How many worst rivals try to slog up every scrap that's dangling off their nemesis's table?
I think Greg still has some good football in him, but I think he's not meant to take the amount of work he's about to get at this stage of his career.
As for the Packers Boykin and Ross are the latest in the long string of bottom roster guys that are touted as exceptional. I have a great deal of skepticism that they'll be replacing anything 85 could do on the field any time soon, if ever. That second and third round this year might be real interesting though. The Packers don't mess around with a weak depth chart at WR and TE. Someone's coming in this year.
I wouldn't mind shifting whatever funds were slated towards Jennings at making a move on Dumervil.
Had the road rage thing last year but it sure would be nice for Clay to not have to carry such a load every single game. It's readily apparent that the safety opposite Burnett is still going to be developing this year and who knows what kind of contribution they'll get from Tramon. That side of the defense is badly in need of a veteran who can perform. Dumervil might not be the ideal guy but he's far and away the best available option at the present moment and would be a tremendous boost to the defense. Players of his ability do not come free often.
Perry is still a huge question mark. Never a good thing when a coach starts talking about effort. A full year of work behind a guy who knows what he's doing might not be the worst thing for him and may allow him to focus on mastering one part of his role without having to learn everything at once.

It may be another 15-30 years before the GBP wins another SB, who knows? Minny might win the next 3 (pigs might crap midget hookers also). In the end, Jennings obviously didn't care to stay in GB all that much, with a small contractual difference steering him to one of the most pretentious, history-poor franchises in all of professional sports. I thank him for the past, but do not care a lick what he achieves from here on out. Actually, I do- I want him to play poorly, or at least want Ponder/Cassell/Webb/future washout QBs to play like they are capable of- poorly. This would only help the Packers. The talk that going to a contender was a big thing to him makes him the biggest phony next to Brent. Yes, Craig, we miss you so much already.

Calling Dumerville or a top tier safety....
I don't see them getting involved with Dumervil, but I'm hoping they add a Safety. Still some quality veterans out there who can be had on 1-2 year deals for a good price
Jennings, loved him as a Packer, hate he's as a Viking.
When he came back after injury last year he was really great at getting YAC. Until Pack played the 49ers, then his YAC disappeared.
When I heard rumor his wife didn't like GB I knew he was gone, happy wife, happy life. "No honey not Miami, Minneapolis..."

The queens just improved themselves with a legit number 1 WR.
The queens were a thorn in GB's side without a #1 WR. Harvin is talented but does not fit the mold of a #1 WR but is dangerous and a threat to score from anywhere.So I feel that the queens are now a better offense w/All Day and a legit deep threat.
Queens are tough in the trenches, have some cap room and some draft picks this year so dont dismiss the Lombardi Trophy less queens just yet.
I do agree a top flight safety or a good pass rusher would be money well spent.
But I do know TT is a draft and develop type GM.

I'm dismissing it. Paper champions every. ****ing. year.

Your post makes little sense.
who do the vikings have playing corner now? pat lee?

Its... its really become pathetic on how the queens just have to have our leftovers. It was brought up earlier, what team or 'rivalry' really has this happening continually.
Any statement about 'look at AP and he doesn't regress' or other half-cocked arguments are beyond ludicrous.
Being a resident behind the purple curtain, I almost see this as the Vikings HAD to sign Cassel to even have a chance at gerg. So they pay gerg obscene money to join them... Good!
Facts are facts. We already have the talant on the roster to have folks catch balls. And catch them well. I don't blame him for going for the money. He has the ring, now he needs the coin. I have no agnst against this nor care what he says.
If anything, as Chilli alluded, he cracked open the hate tank.
Gebbins.
Dallas, Giants, Baltimore, Bengals, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay on the road in 2013.
Ponder at QB. MN won't be favored in any of them.

For years, the teams in the AFC West signed players from other rivals. Think the Raiders, Chiefs, and Broncos.
But I agree that lately it seems Minnesota loves to pick up GB's players. Longwell, Brent, Gerg, among others.

I sure seems that way but who else? The only other one I can think of is the immortal Jeff Brady. You could add 50-60 900 but he never played in a regular season game and since I've been told Gilbert Brown can't be considered an ex-Viking since he didn't play in a regular season game, 50-60 900 can't either because he didn't for the Purple.
I love the fact the queens slobber over our over-priced declining sloppy seconds.
It annually keeps them over-hyped and second class in the league. Congrats.

“It’s a business, and this has happened before,” Jennings said. “I’m not the first Packer player to jump on this side. That makes it a little more relieving. But it will be exciting (to play the Packers). It will be business as usual. It will be a little more meaningful to get a win over those guys than anybody (else) on the schedule.”

What a jerk. He's mad at the Packers for offering him more money than he's making now and then for not leaving the same deal on the table after he turns them down and hits the market?

I don't think Greg is mad; he's just saying what you'd expect for the Queen fans. He was in a difficult position when he turned down the Packers' initial offer and the WR market went south. He's just fortunate the Queens were desperate and willing to overpay for his services.
We have Rodgers
We have TT
We have MM
They don't
Good luck with that Gerg

He will certainly draw alot of double teams,who is the other star reciever on the Vikings,Harvin? oh,he was let go so Jennings is THE guy,finally got his wish,lets see what he can do with the spotlight shining even brighter on him in Minnesota and Ponder heaving the passes. 
Seems like too many times when we played the Vikes Jennings got TDs where he was wide open, like they forgot about him. That won't happen with our D.
If you want to see love....check out posts on Jennings fbook page from Packer fans. Course about 90 percent have been deleted already 
Some real dumdums....but some really funny stuff too.

Deep Thoughts: Do the Queens have more Packers on their roster than the Packers?
We have the Packers and the Packers JV squad
Whats next? Minnesota is changing their purple to Green?

Jennings was a really good Packer. He isn't "Old" at 30. But, to Green Bay he isn't worth that cash. To Minny he is, they need leaders, receivers and guys who know how to win. Greg has an ego, wanting to be the man, not happening in Green Bay or Minnesota. So good luck Greg. Now lets look at Minnesota. They have signed 4 Packer stars over the years. How many rings do they have? Exactly. Let them sign our players when we are only interested at a price or not at all.
Jennings is a great receiver who will have 2 very good seasons and then really begin to tail off..We have holes in this roster but WR is not one of them, I think you dodge a bullet by not giving big money to this guy at the end of his career....and maybe this is a big fat rationalization...but receivers are a dime a dozen, or at least the easiest position to replace..Cobb replaces Jennings, Boykin moves up and a 3rd thru 5th rounder comes in and and plays so well that TT again looks like one them geniuses.
