Even if he still has something in the tank, would he even consider being a 4th option behind Jordy, Cobb and Adams? I'm not against adding talent at WR since we have some question marks behind those 3 but the ship sailed on Jennings two years ago.

I'm betting his name will come up.
In discussions.

Another team with a greater need will probably sign him for more then what Ted will offer.

Who knows, might be able to dust off the old Jersey.

Something else I thought to be of interest here is Jennings was listed on the transaction report as failing a physical.

i wonder how far the physical predated the trade.

Or if he really did fail it :magnifygl

I'll skip over all the "he got what he deserved" talk, although I feel green bay is a little bit vindicated. Jennings still has a couple good years left in him if we didn't have Adams as an up and comer I'd say give his agent a call. But just like Andre Johnson I think the money is better spent elsewhere and the playing time is better invested in Adams.

I don't know, but I remember the Hawk post cut pod cast talked about the failed physical listing, and I think (not sure) Hawk said something like they didn't give him a physical but NFL rules said teams had to list physical or not....

So I'm purely guessing that failing physical could also be code for "not given a physical" at least in the context of offseason released/cut players... but that's not an official option so they go with the closest physical option which is failed physical (since he didn't/couldn't pass the physical, that he wasn't given).

Of course Hawk noted that if he was given a physical he wouldn't pass it at the moment because he was coming off an ankle surgery but said he probably could in a couple of weeks... but I got the impression that teams also used the term "failing physical" for times when they didn't even give a physical.

The Dolphins tried to throw huge money at Cobb... then traded their #1 WR away... I could see them (or even the Saints or Raiders) offering a cheaper contract to Jennings... and that's where Jennings wanted to go in FA a couple years ago... my understanding is Joe Philbin didn't have say so in the roster but their former GM did when Jennings was a FA. Now that they went after Cobb, I think that might suggest Philbin has more say in the roster under the new coach so maybe Jennings will find a home there.

The biggest problem I see is that he disparaged Aaron. Hard to come back, might be awkward in the locker room.

Greg Jennings isn't the same player he once was. He's lost a step although still runs really good routes. That's usually what happens to players around his age. No disrespect, and appreciate his time with Packers, but I wouldn't bring him back.

What would you sign him for?

Zero2Cool (1h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (1h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (1h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (1h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (1h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (1h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (1h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (1h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (2h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (2h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (2h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (3h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (3h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (3h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (3h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (3h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (4h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (4h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (4h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (4h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (5h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (6h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (6h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (7h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (7h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (7h) : ok I stand corrected

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

Zero2Cool (7h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (7h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

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

Zero2Cool (7h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (7h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (7h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (7h) : 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 (7h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (7h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (7h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (7h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (8h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (8h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (8h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (8h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (8h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (8h) : Packers will get in

beast (8h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
