Green Bay --- No nationally televised announcements here. Greg Jennings didn't go LeBron James.

An NFL source tells the Green Bay Press-Gazette free agent Greg Jennings could return to the Packers if he hasn't signed with another team by midnight Wednesday.It implies Jennings has a standing offer from the Packers, one he might take if no one betters it over the next six hours. It would be a thudding end to free agency for a player who's spent weeks publicly pumping up his stock, but perhaps best for all involved. Mar 12 - 7:10 PMSource: Rob Demovsky on Twitter

The Vikings are desperate and will overpay Greg. I'm good either way, cause I look at every ball thrown Greg's way would just go to Cobb, Nelson, Jones, or Finley. We do have an embarrassment of riches at receiver. If only we could say that about linebacker.

Gregg's sister could be very disappointed.

The Vikings and Bears (sadly) seem to have gotten smart with their moves (for the most part).

Also I disagree with the embarrassment of riches at WR... the Packers might of had the deepest WR core in the NFL, but they don't have that true out standing guy ether that all teams MUST double team. And the Packers WRs did VERY poor against bump and run coverage struggling to get off the CBs and get open while a blitz would pressure Rodgers.

The ILBers have been the same as the WRs. One of the deepest in the NFL, but lacking an elite guy. The difference? Rodgers shines and them getting the ball make people happy about the WRs... where they're just so-so with the ILB.

Now OLB is a different story... after Matthews, BIG drop off... Perry showed some potential but that's about it. Need to fix that.

Guessing Greg Jennings not too thrilled with this deal to Wes Welker. #Packers, others still trying to gauge his market.



Broncos agreed to terms with WR Wes Welker, formerly of the Patriots, on a two-year, $12 million contract.
The Broncos throw some stunning spice into an otherwise predictable market. The move alters the balance of power at the top of the AFC, and will finally test the theory that Welker is a "replaceable" player who only became the first receiver in league history to tally five 100-catch seasons because of New England's system. He gives the Broncos an elite, imposing receiver corps, likely the best in the league. Welker will take Brandon Stokley's place in the slot, representing a seismic upgrade in run-after-catch ability. Peyton Manning's security blanket in 2012, Stokley drew 58 targets. Even with Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker in the fold, Welker should double that, even if the days of Welker catching 100 balls a year are over.

Honestly if both Jennings & Jackson are signed ... depending on the contracts of course seems to be more likely that Hawk or Finley ... or both of 'em our out.

I agree Finley will be gone.

Cutting Hawk would only save a little over 2mil, The Packers would take a 4.8mil cap hit, that is the remainder of the signing bonus money Hawk recieved when he signed the new contract after the 2010 season.

I know not many think Hawk is worth the money, but relaesing him now is just not cost effective.

2mil is not a huge amount.

This from KFFL posted this morning:

Packers | Make significant offer to Greg Jennings
Wed, 13 Mar 2013 07:07:46 -0700

The Green Bay Packers offered free-agent WR Greg Jennings (Packers) a contract with a salary of $10 million per season "a while ago," according to a source. Another source indicated Jennings has been in discussions with the team about a possible return.

Jackson voided his 7+mil contract with The Rams, sounds like Greg was looking for 10+ mil, now that FA is well underway let's just see if Ted can swing both deals and still make the contracts work.

I don't think either will get what they were originally asking, but it only takes 1 desperate team to make them very rich(er) men.

Read something today that Finley's agent is nervous. His roster bonus is due on the 17th. If we're signing Jennings and Jackson, it will be before the 17th.

Cutting Hawk for $2 million savings isn't worth it, not with two guys coming back from injury.

If I had my choice, I'd take Jennings over Finley especially with Quarless coming back and Jackson in fold. Getting Jackson is like a gift to our offense.
