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.

The Minnesota Vikings have been rumored to be one of the teams interested in signing free agent WR Greg Jennings and on Thursday it provved to be much more than that.

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.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (16h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (16h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (16h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (16h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
