Even tho I love Jennings I don't want him in GB next year. I'll explain why!

1- His 29 years old and past two season his been plagued with injuries. Not worth paying big bucks to have him on the side line.

2- As someone else stated Jennings won't be as good as WR if it wasn't AR throwing to him.

3- We've got very deep WR corp even if we lose Jennings we've got Nelson / Jones / Cobb that can all be starters

4- Rather keep that big $$$ and pay out for our future FA's that will be more important to keep the Jennings right now (Matthews / Raji / Finley / AR will be looking for a raise sooner or later etc...

5- Will gives us an opportunity to at least keep Finley for one more year to see what he brings, still got some confidence in him

We need to look at the bigger picture here, so does Greg Jennings. If he gets a home discount deal and sticks around for a good salary that I'm all for him to be coming back if not then forget it. Deals like this are what can make or brake your franchise.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

Any trade potential here, rather than letting him walk in free agency? If Ted Thompson and MM both go public saying that they'd prefer for him to stay in Green Bay, maybe we could get someone to offer a starting-caliber running back or left tackle(?)

Oh, and Finley? Pfft. Goodbye. I don't see ANY chance of him returning.

Let's just appreciate that he was a huge part of our 4th Super Bowl championship, wish him well, and send him down the road. We have more important contracts to deal with and Jennings knows that. I didn't appreciate the Cullen Jenkins/Wells shot he gave.

And 69 - I'm not sure I agree with you on Finley. I was hoping Williams would have stepped up this year, but he hasn't - and Quarless is a better blocker but far inferior to Finley as a receiving threat.

I'd love to keep Grog. I don't understand why everyone says he is not a number 1 WR. I'm assuming everyone's list of number 1 receivers consists of Andre Johnson, Larry Fitz, AJ Green, Megatron, maybe Bmarsh and then basically no one else?

So there's what, 5 number 1 WR's in the league? That's some pretty strict criteria, folks.

I was under the understanding that cutting Finley's 7 mill off the books next year we'd be ok resigning Grog, or at least franchising him for a year?

This would be for another thread but I am not ok with giving Raji a huge contract.

To me this leaves (at best) an either/or scenario with Finley and Greg. The team would be paying Finley roughly 8 next year, the franchise is 9.5 for Greg, so the difference is (relatively) minimal.

I've heard Greg is hoping for 16/yr, in which case there is no way in hell the Pack can sign him. If he's willing to come down towards 9ish range, I think it at least opens the door for an either/or option with Finley.

The most I have heard in regards to what Greg Jennings is desiring is just over $10 million a year. I don't think even Calvin Johnson is making $16 million a year with his insane but deserved contract. And Jennings is no Johnson and more importantly to contract negotiations, Jennings know this.

We have never had trouble finding receivers, and I think the guys we have on the roster will handle things just fine. Although to Jennings' credit, he is a fantastic route runner.

[palm]

Anyhow, Greg Jennings has several times said he likes Green Bay (before his contract stuff came up) and one thing he really likes is the proximity to his hometown. Teams closer to his hometown will have a better chance.

beast (3h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (9h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (9h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (9h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (13h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (16h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (17h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (18h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (18h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (18h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (20h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

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

dfosterf (21-Apr) : 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?
