Question about Jennings

I have seen alot of posters on here and actually seen a huge as thread where people are calling Jennings god.

Here is the question.

If Jennings leaves the Packers for more money and goes to a division rival will he still be a god or will he be an asshole and he betrayed the fans.

This should make for an interesting convo if people answer honestly.

I would still say best of luck to him and understand that money talks and gm's having your back is BS.

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

If jennings leave VIA FA to the vikings, i will lose a lot of respect for him.

BUT, it has nowhere near the significance of favre doing it, anyone who would try to compare what favre has meant to the packers, to what jennings means is clearly dilusional.

I think the concept of the question is valid, the way it was presented is asking for an argument.

Jennings has only played here for a handful of years. If he leaves after his ROOKIE contract is up for the Vikings, Bears or even Cowboys, he is not betraying the fans. He's going where the money is and/or where he feels he can succeed the most.

Please, leave the Brett stuff out. This could have been easily asked "Would you feel betrayed if Jennings left the Packers for a rival?" without the attempted linking with Brett.

In football, as in any employment, I begrudge nobody for taking a better offer. It is the business side of this "game" we love.

How does that even compare the retirement, unretirement, tantrum throwing, signing with the Jets, another retirement (boy, screwed the Jets too!), another unretirement, and possibly signing with the Queens out of spite?

Truly, absolutely nothing in common with the scenario you present.

Well if he did it, he also wouldn't be coming out retirement for the SECOND time to join a division rival, thats were the Favre thing gets iffy. I was all about him wanting to come back last year, and I supported him with Jets, but if he goes to the Vikings then my respect level greatly diminishes and all of My Favre Jerseys will cease to exist.

If Jennings plays his heart out another year, and we don't give him what he wants contract wise, then he can feel free to sign somewhere else, will I be sad and disappointed? Yes definitely, will I feel bitter? no, its a business and I understand that. The Favre situation is an entirely different one however.

I'd root against him with all my might like Favre going to the Vikings. But here is the difference of this and Favre. I think Jennings has a lot of talent, and I think Brett has enough to get him past week 6 and that's about it.

Well i'm not trying to compare the 2 just got me thinking is all, I see all the jennings is god comments so i was just curious if it would still be the same if he was on the Bears or like i think could happen the Lions (his home team)

IMO even thou they say players shouldnt be associated with teams and you should look at them seperately from the team they play with. I feel that us as fans associate key players with our respective team.

We see jennings with a green and gold uniform he is a green bay packer. Many guys like myself included would feel a loss for the greenbay packers if he left. We would feel our team would be less then it was before.

So to answer your question ...

He would be a guy going after the almighty dollar - while ya it would suck and I might be a little po'ed but then again it's money and alot of it what are you doing to do ...

He's not going anywhere; Our best Offensive person we have (above arod too IMO) ... Ted Thompson would be wise to get him signed.

again I'm not worried about it

Sorry Zero i just wanted to put in there why i was thinking about it, i forgot everyone is on the Favre kick so if his name is mentioned it will be all about him.

There fixed it his name is gone :p

I just wanted to know what they would think of Jennings leaving for a rival if he would be god.

beast (7h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (11h) : meh

Zero2Cool (15h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (15h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (15h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (18h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (18h) : Only 4

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

dfosterf (22h) : 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?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
