The salary cap is going to stagnate for a few years, because the Players Union negotiated a front loaded deal, to make it seem like they did better than they really did. Around '15 iirc it exands considerably. So they might give Jennings a back laden contract or something like that.
This cap scenario is one good reason to ditch Finley. Depending upon how Quarless is coming back and the development of DJ Williams (and Ryan Taylor.)
If Jennings leaves, I suspect he'll end up in Miami with Philbin.
I've always said I thought James Jones could be a #1 guy, and we've seen that this year. And I think Cobb is way more explosive than JJ.
Still, we're also losing DD, so Ted will have to draft for the position.
I could see them franchising Jennings, but if they did that, they would have to pay him top 5% money at the position, no? They could also franchise him and trade him.
Let's see what Greg does in the playoffs.
