Sorry but anyone who thinks Greg Jennings doesn't want to be a Packer should be drug tested. 😣

ummm Jennings paired with Megatron could be very scary. Jennings gets his money and also gets to play in front of his hometown fans, it would be a good fit for the Lions and bad for the rest of our division.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

He could stay for 5 million/yr, and we would have him, jones, nelson and cobb and Finley for less than Calvin alone.

If it's Finley or Greg for one more year. Cut Finley and franchise Greg for one more season. With the big 3 needing extensions very soon, you have to make them the priority given their respective positions. We've still got pretty good receiver depth and the draft to replace guys like Jennings in the long term.

Take 1 more year to see if Finley has something. (I honestly think this guy can only get better, and his words off the field are so blown out of proportion.) Maybe we'll restructure his contract to resign Jennings? He did say he wanted to be a packer for life. Serious or not seriously.

Then try to work out a deal next offseason for Greg.

That's what I wouldn't mind seeing.

If he does want to stay a Packer he'll take less money. The guy has 50 TD's to his name here in Green Bay. That's fucking impressive if you ask me. Can't let that go.

Here is the thing.. there are all types of options and influences on this deal, most notably is the change in the salary cap allocation of contract signed late in the year (and last for the matter). It changed.. so reinking veterans late in the season for salary cap advantages is less advantageous than in past years for the club.

So the lack of talks during this season has a different meaning from years past... basically the 7 million the Packers have in cap room this season is pushed forward to next season.

So, why push to get a contract done now.. we are not going to lose the cap room. So get through the season and start looking at the options after the season. There are still variables in play.

Basically, the Packers have no incentive to talk contract during the season, there is no competitive advantage to it. If Jennings or someone else suffers a career threatening injury, why risk big money now. Deal with it in the offseason.

I think Greg is reading into this the wrong way... it is just business.

I think the media makes some of Gregs comments seem like he doesn't think he'll be back. He basicly has and had the same kinda approach when he speaks to them. He just doesn't know. That's really all he's talking about. It's just so the NFL can make headlines. The Packers aren't worried about this stuff right now. His agent will work it out, and hopefully he'll be in a green and gold uniform next year.

Even a Lions team with CJ and GJ wouldn't beat the Packers unless the Packers have one of their "bad days." Plus all that money tied up in two WRs would have to hurt them elsewhere, eventually.

I don't hear a lot of talk about how we'll probably have to match an offer sheet for sammy shields this offseason

The salary cap is going to stagnate for a few years, because the Players Union negotiated a front loaded deal, to make it seem like they did better than they really did. Around '15 iirc it exands considerably. So they might give Jennings a back laden contract or something like that.

This cap scenario is one good reason to ditch Finley. Depending upon how Quarless is coming back and the development of DJ Williams (and Ryan Taylor.)

If Jennings leaves, I suspect he'll end up in Miami with Philbin.

I've always said I thought James Jones could be a #1 guy, and we've seen that this year. And I think Cobb is way more explosive than JJ.

Still, we're also losing DD, so Ted will have to draft for the position.

I could see them franchising Jennings, but if they did that, they would have to pay him top 5% money at the position, no? They could also franchise him and trade him.

Let's see what Greg does in the playoffs.

Zero2Cool (1h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (1h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (2h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (2h) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (2h) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (2h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (2h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (2h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (3h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (3h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (3h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (3h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (3h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (4h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (4h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (4h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (5h) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (5h) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (5h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (5h) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (6h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (7h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (7h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (8h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (8h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (8h) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (8h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (8h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (8h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (8h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (8h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (8h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (8h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (8h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (8h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (8h) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (8h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (8h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (8h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
packerfanoutwest (8h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
Zero2Cool (8h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.
packerfanoutwest (8h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in
packerfanoutwest (8h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker
packerfanoutwest (8h) : if bucs win out they win their division
beast (9h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
packerfanoutwest (9h) : falcons are already ahead of us
beast (9h) : Packers will get in
beast (9h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
