Wait... didn't I hold that opinion in the Jennings "last year" thread. [grin1]

I posted on Greg's facebook page that he should shut his mouth and just play the game. Remember what happened to the last Diva in Green Bay, he became hated by many. I even stated we understand that this will probably be his last year in Green Bay because he will want to be overpaid.

I personally won't cry if Jennings leaves next year and don't think he deserves the big bucks. He is no where near the likes of Megatron or Larry Fitz. Well will just replace him with another receiver like Cobb or even maybe someone in the draft next year.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Lol, everyone is so quick to jump on the bandwagon of hating a player who's been nothing but class for years.

Dude just doesn't want to get felt up by some hairy drunk middle aged Packers fan...

Are we talking about Jennings getting his junk grabbed, or Jennings possibly not being a Packer after this season?

There has been a lot of Jennings hate lately, but I don't know how this article is adding to it. It's obvious Gregorious was joking and this wasn't some backhanded response to our fanbase.

I still love Jennings and him being realistic about his contract being up and the gross overpaying of minimally talented receivers is definitely not gonna change that. Good, classy, and loyal players leave our team because we can't afford to keep them all, but I'm still pulling for resigning Jennings.

For the record, I don't have any issue with Greg voicing his opinion upon this topic.. personally, I think the leap has passed its prime.

Additionally.. I don't think him discussing his contract is going to have a direct effect on this weekends game.. but I do believe it will become and issue someplace within the season.

Anyway.. are the people grabbing junk intentionally or just grabbing a hold of anything they can get a hold of to keep the player in the stands?

Another thought upon the topic.. if Greg thinks that is bad.. get at the bottom of a scrum upon the field.. that is obscene.

There is absolutely nothing that he has said or done that should cause people to be at all disrespectful or angry towards him. Stuff like posting on his facebook to shut up I mean come on, buncha over sensitive babies.

I believe most are saying that if Greg Jennings is demanding something in the range of $10 million per year or more, than the Packers have to let him walk because it's just not feasible to pay that to a WR when the Packers have other contracts that need to be extended too. Jennings is a class act, good WR and an asset to the team. But what most are saying is if it comes down to Greg Jennings OR both Clay Matthews and B.J. Raji, the Packers should let Jennings walk and keep both Matthews and Raji.


The Facebook comment was, in my opinion, over board.

Personally, I hope he remains VERY attached to his locker. Greg has very much been 'Packers People' during his career.

Greg Jennings suspends talks

Updated: September 9, 2012, 11:23 AM ET
By Adam Schefter | ESPN

Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings will not pursue any type of contract extension with Green Bay during the regular season, according to someone familiar with the situation.

The two sides talked throughout the offseason and made little progress, and Jennings doesn't want negotiations to be a distraction. He wants to concentrate on his on-field production and helping the Packers to reach the postseason.

But with a contract that expires after the season, he also now looks to be one of the top free agents, if not the top free agent, in the Class of 2013.

"I'm not worried about whether I'm going to end up here or whether I'm getting a contract done," Jennings said this week. "That will take care of itself. Right now, my (mind) is on the 49ers, and it will be on the next opponent and the next opponent after that. If I'm here, I would love to be here. If I'm not, it is what it is.

"At the end of the day I'm going to play football, I'm going to play 100 percent every single snap. This is my locker, I want this to be my locker until I hang my cleats up and decide I'll give this locker up to someone else."

Jennings is one of several high-profile players the Packers' front office will have to address in the foreseeable future. Outside linebacker Clay Matthews and defensive lineman B.J. Raji come up after the 2013 season, and Aaron Rodgers is vastly outperforming a deal that runs through the end of the 2014 season.

Maybe if Greg Jennings wasn't so worried about his contract, he wouldn't have taken himself out of the game at the end of the 4th quarter. Thanks for the effort!

dfosterf (29m) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (30m) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (1h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (1h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (1h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (1h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (1h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (1h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (1h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (1h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (1h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (2h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (2h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (2h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (2h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (4h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (4h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (4h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (19h) : 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.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
