Free agent receiver Greg Jennings may be leaving Green Bay but staying in the NFC North. Jennings is visiting the Vikings today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The Vikings have been widely reported to be interested in Jennings, especially after they traded away Percy Harvin and needed to pick up a playmaker in their passing game.

Just saw this on twitter, I doubt he will sign with Minnesota. I think his using them for contract negotiations with the Packers.

Two things GJ didn't realize before going into free agency.

1- His value
2- Packers need

Explanation:

1- He overrated his value and is shocked now on how teams are not sending him lucrative 5/6 years deals with loaded contracts.
2- Didn't realize that signing a WR for the packers is not a must have position, as it's fully loaded & how the Packers see it is that if he comes back even better if not we've got other to replace.
Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

The Packer wide receiver thing has been a "who made who" situation for a very long time now. The only truly legitimate #1 receivers we've had for the last twenty years were Sterling Sharpe and Javon Walker. The rest of them have been talented players that have inflated stats they would never have obtained playing in another system. I think the rest of the GMs in the league know this as well. I still laugh when I think about Billy Schroeder getting big coin from the Lions and Corey Bradford in Houston.

I think the Vikings would benefit more by subtraction of the Packers getting Greg Jennings, than they would in adding him.

Meaning, the loss to the Packers > The benefit to the Vikings.


And with Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, James Jones and Jermichael Finley as well as Steven Jackson ... I don't think the damage will be too great. Although I'd rather Jennings than Finley ... I think.

Greg Jennings says: 

“Coaching means a lot, the dynamic of the team. To me, the quarterback means a lot, if they have one or not, and I have to make sure my family is comfortable.”

Amen, amen. I also agree that Finley leaving to the vikings would hurt us more - Jennings is a route runner but not a huge target, Finley is a much larger target and would be a better fit for a "Quarterback" like Ponder.

Kyle Rudolph earned MVP honors as the NFC whipped the AFC 62-35 in Sunday night's Pro Bowl game.

His 6'6' / 258 and skill set show a lot of promise and much much less of a headcase of what Finley seems to be.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
