If he is not 100%. I would have him active, but watching or playing minimal snaps. Let the other take the load and have him ready in case of emergency. Like some, I don't buy into the Greg being out being the reason the offense was bad against the Chefs last year. Their defense just had our number that game.

Can't get a positive read on Greg and how his contract talks are going to go. It is not odd what he said earlier. Numerous players have made the same comments over the years. When working with Ted, that is about all you can say. I wouldn't be surprised if He does get a deal done about mid season or little later, depending on how injuries and our cap status play out.

While he is a very good player, he is not worth Fitz money. Fitz isn't worth Fitz money. I also would be worried about Gregs health. I don't see him as a player that is going to beat father time like Driver.

I think the issue with the Greg Jennings contract comes more from contracts like Vincent Jackson received, than Larry Fitzgerald.

Jackson signed...
3/13/2012: Signed a five-year, $55,555,555 contract.
The deal contains $26 million guaranteed, including a $2 million first-year reporting bonus and all of Jackson's first two base salaries.
2012: $11 million,
2013: $13 million,
2014: $10 million,
2015: $9.778 million,
2016: $9.778 million,
2017: Free Agent


Vincent Jackson
receptions 282
yards 4,958
per rec 17.6
long 60
touchdown 38



Greg Jennings
receptions 394
yards 6,205
per rec 15.7
long 86
touchdown 49


My opinion is Jennings is clearly a better receiver than Jackson and his agent will use this to drive up the price.

I agree with Zombie.
If he's not close to 100%, don't put him on the field. Let him heal.
Otherwise you may lose him for the season.

---

Now he says he's SORE but still planning on playing.

Sounds like he's making a contract season business decision.

Greg Jennings pulling the I'm hurt, but I'm all about the team so I'm playing ... card????

You all are reading into it too much.

Gregorious is injured, but still wants to play. That's it. No ulterior motive and his agent's not scheming anything.

---

Who cares if Gregorious is injured?!! This thread is about Greg Jennings, who's barely injured at all! He missed the Bears game and the Packers won so now he's rushing himself back onto the field to prove his worth! His agent went OH SNAP no Greg and they WON? Get back out there before they win two in a row and prove you're not vital to their winning success!

Feel free to read into this. I watched the whole thing and if anything, he's bummed he's hurt.

Gregorious will be a Packer in 2013. We won the last game of last year without 🇦🇷 so thinking that one player is everything is absurd.

My personal opinion is I'd rather sit him as I wouldn't want to him to risk getting worse. But I trust 🇲🇲's judgement.

I do not link his injury together with his comments to the press and the leverage game he tried to play with his "Last Year" play.

I think the guy is an excellent human being overall, and a very good football player.

That said, he is not worth the contracts being handed out to some. The game itself has morphed into a track meet style of football with all the advantages being levied against the defense. Granted with the replacement refs we are seeing somewhat of a reversing of the trending rule book (which I love by the way), that is only a temporary condition. Once the game starts to be called more in line with the NFL version of the rulebook, you see more production from more receivers as they have all the advantages of the rules plus the protection to roam the field without the threat of the big hit.

Basically, devaluing the value of a great receiver between a good one. Teams will start to pick up on that trend and the salaries will reflect that.

Unfortunately for the marriage of the Packers and Jennings, that realization may come to late and he will find greater money elsewhere. Happiness.. we shall see.

Like Rodgers recently stated.. How much is too much?

What is the price tag for having continued success upon one team with relationships you have built over a number of years. That is a variable statement.. we shall see with Mr. Jennings.
