Greg Jennings: This is my last year with the Packers

Whether the contract comes with Green Bay in the near future or (with) one of the other 31 teams, that's the reality of it. That's the way I have to approach it. My mind-set is 20 weeks of football with the Packers and then this is it.

This is my last year with the Packers under contract. That's my mind-set. I'm not thinking about (the) contract. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, I have to make sure I go out there and do what I've been doing for six solid years here to get myself a chance to play somewhere.

Like I said, I have one thing on my mind, that's football this year with this team that I've been loyal to for six years. I'm a realist. I don't put it past anyone. This organization has to do what it has to do for itself and I have to do what I have to do for Greg.

How is having a mindset that this is his last year with the Packers under contract not thinking about the contract? Not that it matters that much to me, priority #1 is that he produces this year, priority #2 is that the Packers have someone to replace him if he gets too pricy to keep around. If he wants to think about contracts all game long, fine by me as long as he gets the job done.

I think the reality is that he will expect top receiver money and probably won't get it.

At least from us. If we see good things from our younger WRs and Jordy doesn't drop off, I could see us passing on Jennings, although then we might need to replace two veteran WRs if DD is done after this year.

Brilliant timing Greg... simply brilliant.

You can tell it was done with a PR spin, the focus that it could be his last year in Green Bay is sure to grab headlines... on the approach to the regular season being a perfect time to draw attention to his cause. Sprinkle in a touch of him being loyal to the Packers to boot.

I don't like the timing, I don't like him bringing the attention before the season upon himself and his cause.. but it will get some to back his attempt to garner another contract for himself.

Ted has been, in my opinion, pretty proactive in locking up players that do their part and figure into the future of the Packers. Greg himself was already taken care of in season prior to this, so he himself should know the Packers take care of players that contribute to the overall cause.

So why take the need to set himself on a island and draw the spotlight to himself?

I personally have stated my opinion on Greg Jennings.. he is overvalued as a whole by Packer nation, very good player, but not someone that we cannot march forward without.

To be clear, I would rather have him than not, but we can win without him. My opinion.

A tad bit of a deceiving thread headline.

"Under Contract." This Is My Last Season With The Packers Under Contract."

I personally am not pissed at Greg for stating what he did. I am sure he did not call a press conference, my guess is he responded to a question from a scribe. His response is just fine. He states he does not want to let it get him out of his focus, which is on the up coming season and doing what he has been doing for six years.

We all, from time to time, including me, forget this is a business, and it could be his last chance to solidify his family's financial future in a profession that only gives one a short time to accomplish that.

It is all good.

This will come down to $$$. How much will Gregorious want? If he tries to break the bank, 🇹🇹 might sign him for one year and hope Cobb actually develops into something. I don't think 🇲🇲 and 🇹🇹 are sold on Cobb quite yet.

The Packers need superb route runners and currently have 4 with Gregorious, Nelson, Driver, and Jones. Driver's on his last year. Jones doesn't have the hands of the other 3. That leaves Jordy, who recently signed long-term.

This is not good for 2014. 2013, I can almost guarantee Gregorious is a Packer.

The way he talks about it it seems like he knows the number he wants is huge and the Packers will never get near it.

With some of the contracts given out recently to halfway decent WRs I could really see some desperate team shelling out tons of cash for GJ in FA. After seeing that I wouldn't blame Greg one bit for testing the FA waters and I wouldn't blame Ted Thompson for letting him walk.
