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 Aaron Rodgers 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 / Aaron Rodgers 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 Mike McCarthy 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.

Zero2Cool (26m) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (27m) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (1h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (1h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (1h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (1h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (1h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (1h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (1h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (1h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (1h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (1h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (1h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (1h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (1h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (2h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (2h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (2h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (2h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (2h) : Packers will get in

beast (2h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (2h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (4h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (5h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (6h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (15h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (15h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (19h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating
