Jennings is just setting a market expectation.. and probably aiming high so he has some negotiating room to hit where he hopes to land..
Here are the current Average Salaries for Receivers:
Calvin Johnson 18.812 Mil

So if you are Greg.. looking at that list.. can you not argue that you should be slotted in that range of Vincent Jackson in terms of an average contract. Now granted.. backloading and etc are in there.. but you get the idea.
So if he aims at 12 and settle in around 9 to 10 with a smaller backload.. I could see a team paying that.
And the lack of "interest" from the Fins.. of course they are going to down play any interest at the moment.. if they "express" to much through the back channels.. the Packers may be more apt to tag him and try and work a deal with the Fins.
And Finley.. come on.. most of him is posturing at this point to try and collect the second half of a high dollar contract and then leverage his open market status for his big payday. Most take his outspoken nature and youthful ignorance at times then overlay everything he says with that same slant. The kids is what 23.. maybe 24.. not all folks mature at such a young age.
