Greg Jennings - WR - Packers

Impending free agent Greg Jennings' "educated guess" is that he won't be back with the Packers in 2013.

"If it was just my decision, my decision only, absolutely I would be here in a heartbeat," Jennings said. "Wouldn't want to leave at all, but obviously it's two sides, so the Packers are gonna do what's best for them and hopefully I'm what's best. But, if not, then I have 31 other teams that hopefully I can show them my résumé and then walk into the door and start back over."

Greg Jennings - WR - Packers

Impending free agent Greg Jennings said he doesn't want to return to the Packers under the franchise tag.

Jennings will turn 30 in September and is looking for one last long-term deal. The franchise tag is a one-year tender. "Will I be here? That's totally up to the Packers," he said. Jennings and the Packers have not had any contract extension talks yet. It's very possible they'll play hardball and end up with Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Randall Cobb as their top-three wideouts in 2013.

Go get him.

4 year deal, cut him after year 3.

we need a combination of a big body WR and a nice smaller compact WR that can run the WC offense. So if we sign jennings then draft either justin hunter or keenan allen. Tannehill needs a nice big 6'3 WR for the redzone. Next season go in with this WR CORE:

Greg Jennings
Brian Hartline
Keenan Allen
Devon Bess
Armon Binns/moore/matthews

However, he does not have to sign the tag contract. Does us no good either, and I see this happening because he is not going to get that kind of money from them in a long term deal.
 
I don't see Jennings here, with age and injuries. I don't see Wallace as being a good fit in Philbin's O. I see Bowe or the draft.
 
i thought once your tagged if u dont sign you cant play anywhere else. Am i wrong?
 
I think the Packers have seen what life is like without Jennings this season and while he has great chemistry with Rodgers they seemed to do fairly well without him. James Jones really raised his game up this year in the absence of Jennings and Jordy Nelson. Given that I don't see the Packers tagging Jennings...they'll try to re-sign him with a fair contract but they're not going to break the bank. He won't get a $10 million+ per season offer from them. His salary now averaged $6.7 million and he making just under $4 million this season...if they offered him a 4 year $24 million contract I bet he'd re-sign with them.
 
I think it was a foregone conclusion that this guy was done in GB after this year.
 
Jennings is the best man for the Dolphins he would be great for Tannehills development on and off the field. However I am starting to doubt that we make any big free agency moves.
 
he's not getting tagged...someone will trump any offer they make...no less than $8 mil per does he ink for...

mike wallace i tell ya what that's got to be the most explosive wr in football...i watched him against the cowboys just run by guys like they were standing still...i bet watching that guy from the coaches box and all 22 people are just wowed by how fast that guy is...it's filthy...he goes 60 yards in a nanosecond...pittsburghs got to keep that speed...i know one thing though that speed is exactly what this offense needs in miami...a true vertical threat that can make the safeties stay deep and teams not sit on things...
 
I can see Jennings in Miami....I dont see too many teams out there that look as appealing as Miami does(clear cut no. 1,could put up big numbers in this system) that could offer the kind of numbers Miami can offer him. The familiarity factor aswell.....I think the chances Greg ends up here is fairly decent.

He is so banged up. I like that he is big Philbin guy though.
