It hasn't been the best contract season for Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings. A groin injury has limited him to playing just six games and 21 receptions. Although he could still have a big impact for the NFC North champions in the playoffs, he doesn't see staying in Green Bay beyond January and February.

Jennings, in an interview with the NFL Network's "NFL AM" program on Tuesday, said he's made "a calculated guess" the Packers won't bring him back next season. Jennings would like to return to an offense with Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball, but unfortunately, his absence has shown the Packers can get along well without splurging to retain his services.

While Jennings and fellow starter Jordy Nelson (hamstring) have spent time on the shelf, Rodgers has found a groove with elevated play from Randall Cobb and James Jones. Cobb has especially proved, with his second-year production (77 receptions, 892 yards, seven touchdowns) that he's ready to take on a full-time starting role in 2013. In addition, both Nelson and Jones are signed through next season for reasonable, sub-$3 million contracts.

Jennings also told the NFL Network he prefers not to be franchise-tagged, despite the fact that one-year value is expected to be around $9.7 million for wide receivers in 2013. As an unrestricted free agent, the 29-year-old would draw plenty of interest, competing with the likes of the Steelers' Mike Wallace and the Patriots' Wes Welker for jobs on the open market.

While Cobb has emerged as a top talent and Jones has seemed to become Mister Reliable this year, I can't see us ditching both Finley and Jennings unless we get at least a solid #3 WR to replace them. We're loaded at WR but that doesn't mean we should ditch a third of our talent, unless we got someone decent for the OL or DL out of it.

Agreed, and 1 good season out of Jones does not instill a lot of confidence in me. I still find myself pleasently surprised everytime he catches the ball.

With the supposed potential of DJ Williams and Quarless, along with a desire and ability to block, McGinn's article (although ill-timed) makes sense to me, and I'd rather see Finley walk in the hopes of retaining GJ, and then working long-terms with Raji, AR, and CM3

Last season's Jones would be #4 behind Cobb, Nelson, and hopefully someone more reliable than last season's Jones. In any case, I don't want to be two injuries away from only having one WR that's seen any significant amount of NFL action. Boykin does not count.

While I'm fine with Crabtree replacing Finley, the fact of the matter is that Finley really was more of an oversized WR than a tight end.

Jennings is not a #1 WR and is not worth #1 money, and if that is what he wants, best of luck someplace else, and he better hope that someplace else has a QB. Jennings has no idea what it is like to not have a top QB, and complementary receiving options.

With Jennings, we are sitting on 4 #2 WR, and the only way that could get better is a 5th #2. Our passing game is dangerous because any of our options, can play any of the positions. And any of them are better than the other teams #3 and #4 DBs.

Greg Jennings has more flash than the other receivers on the team besides Cobb. He is more electric than Nelson or Jones, but with the emergence of Cobb I don't see the need to keep Jennings since there are guys at other positions that need to be locked up.

This is exactly what made us dangerous.. each week any of the options could rip the oppositions competitive heart out. Injuries have shown us to what degree the recipe worked.. we are still viable with 2 or 3 options on the field, but not explosive.

With this type of balance, it should allow for all receivers to be happy. It was clear that Jennings wanted more in the preseason.. hasn't changed with a season full of injury and little production.
