Bill Polian rates Greg Jennings

I've alluded to this before, Gregg may not get the payday he is looking for. Polian has him rated as a B player and on the down side of 30 it could be risky for a team to spend big money. Maybe we get a chance to bring him back. Then again some GMs can't resist spending big money to make it look like they're doing something. In either case I wish Gregg well except ,of course, against the Pack if that be the case. One posters comment was interesting, something to the fact of "what did Gregg's sister say about Bill Polian".

Last off-season, Laurent Robinson signed a five-year $32.5 million dollar contract, Marques Colston signed a five-year $40 million dollar deal, and Vincent Jackson signed for $55.5 million on a five-year deal. I had to look up the numbers to double check, but I recalled seeing them a year ago and thinking about their impact on a future Jennings deal.

Because of priorities, the Packers can’t even match a Robinson type of number. Jennings should receive something between Robinson and Colston at the very least. There's a chance that somebody desperate enough (Minnesota) could pony up $45 million on Jennings.

I agree with your point, but if a five-year $32.5 million dollar contract is the best Jennings finds, I think he would be back in Green Bay. He's making more than $6 million right now.

Latest I read about Jennings was he is high on the Dolphins radar and they have tons of cash to spend, in fact they said watch for the Dolphins to go after both Jennings and Welker. And Mike Wallace ends up in Cinci. Which is fine with me keep them all away from Detroit and Chicago. With either one of those 3 on the Bears and Lions would mean very big trouble for the Packers.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Packers fans are the only people on earth who think Cutler and Stafford aren't serviceable QBs.

Polian also had this to say about Walden

"He's an up-and-coming guy," Polian said, referring to Walden. "He flies around the field and is tough. He's well suited to the 3-4, young and with upside. I don't see a big market, but nonetheless he's an asset."

...um????

beast (5h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (11h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (11h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (11h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (15h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (18h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (19h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (20h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (20h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (20h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (22h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
