Is it just me?

Am I nuts? Am I being paronoid? Does Greg still have a no conversation policy about signing a long term contract, due to him wanting to focus on the football in front of him at this time.

I am wondering what the hell is going on in the Greg Jennings talks.

The Cap Is There..

Anyone..... Hear ANYTHING.... Praytell.

If I had to guess, he's waiting to see what top FA WRs are going to get (like Housh) before he and his agent seriously engage in contract talks with the Packers so they'll have a goal of want they want to shoot for.

Greg Jennings WILL be resigned before the draft. (lets see how accurate that is)

This article from Friday, February 20 was the last one I could dig up regard Jennings getting a long-term contract. I'd have to think the Packers realistically have to get a deal done before the draft because the price of a top-tier receiver is only going to go higher, especially if someone like Crabtree gets drafted by the Seahawks in the Top 5.

It can't be much with the cap investment. The Packers are under the salary cap by about 30 million, and the Redskins were able to sign both DeAngelo Hall and Albert Haynesworth with just under 8 million.

My opinion, it will be later this offseason when Collins and Jennings are re-inked..

Like a few have mentioned above, the players are gauging the market for their perspective positions and will gather some type of baseline number to engage in talks from. Now, a player like Jennings or Collins has to understand that they will be getting that money a season ahead, so a little bit of adjustments will need to be made.. in other words the Packers have their rights for another season of bargain yet.. so to avoid risking injury that would impact the deal they would get they need to make some adjustments to the provisions.

I have confidence that both deals will be done before a snap of regular season ball this fall... mid summer deals post draft... and it will be the Packers dime to wait til then.. let all the options of the draft and FA play out.. then ink them if they still fit into the long term vision.

Jennings has proven he deserves a new deal after 3 years of great play. We should get him re-inked immediately.

We might want to wait until the season starts for Collins. After a stellar rookie campaign he tailed off for what... two years? If we begins this season where he left off last season, Ted Thompson will lock in up during the season like he did with A-Rod last season. If not, the franchise tag for a safety is very reasonable.

Both deals need to be front loaded to make sure we stay cap friendly for future extensions (ie. Tramon Williams).

Jennings has been approached about an extension, but he is waiting...

Just a question i'm curious about? With all the love for Greg what would you guys think of him if he decides he wants to test the free agent market next year( if it is a capped year, uncapped year he can't do free agency). And what would you folks think of Ted Thompson if he didn't resign him? I know it probably won't come to this but just curious seeing so many people have man crushes on Jennings and TT.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
