As I sit here writing this and at this very moment, Greg Jennings may be signing his next contract. With that in mind, I’m not going to talk about which team I think he’s headed to or which team is the best fit. That could be obsolete by the time I click "publish'. What is NOT [...]

According to an NFL source, the #Packers had made an offer to @GregJennings "a while ago" that was worth about $10M per year.

Greg Jennings' tenure with the Packers might not be over just yet. An NFL source said the Packers remained in the mix for Jennings, who became an unrestricted free agent at 3 p.m. today.

I wouldn't mind it if he returned here.
As long as its at a decent price.
He'd have to eat a little crow if no
Other team makes him a big money
Offer.

10$ mil a year ... wouldn't want him with that huge contract unless it's a short deal 1-2 years ... 7.5-8.5 I'd welcome him back

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

It would be great to have him back at a more reasonable figure. There is a great value in Rodgers having a player he knows very well lined up on the edge or in the slot.

Jennings would be well served returning to finish out his career here too. Legacy. For instance, I bet Desmond Howard would trade the extra cash he earned with OAK for what might have been with two or more seasons in GB.

Another WR barometer for Jennings. RT @MMehtaNYDN WR Brandon Gibson was at Jets facility today...I'm told he's staying until tomorrow.

How about this for Greg,

6yr....54mil, stay with me here.

Give him a signing bonus of 10mil, guarantee another 14 mil.

Packers could then spread that 24 mil out over 6 yrs(4 mil a yr.)

Salary would be 2013 2mil., 2014 3mil., 2015 4mil., 2016 10mil., 2017 3mil, 2018 2mil.

Cap hit.............2013 6mil., 2014 7mil., 2015 8mil., 2016 14 mil., 2017 7 mil., 2018 6mil.

Of course after the 1st 3 years, The Packers would have to restructure taking the 12 mil of guaranteed money left and cutting Gregs salary.

This makes the agent happy, "window dressing" as I heard it called earlier.

Packers could handle the cap hit mcuh easier, and they get to keep Greg!!!

beast (4h) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (7h) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
