From what we know of Jennings.. this isn't just talk.. good news for the Packers..


Jennings wants to stay with Packers
Greg Jennings wants to remain with the Green Bay Packers.

The third-year receiver made that perfectly clear Monday morning during the players final locker room session with the media for the 2008 season.

Players cleaned out their lockers, went through exit interviews with coaches and departed following the Packers disappointing 6-10 season.

Jennings, who led the Packers in receiving yards (1,292), catches (80) and touchdowns (9), becomes an unrestricted free agent following the 2009 season, and there has been speculation he might hit the open market.

"It's not really all about the money," said Jennings. "I'm more concerned about my family and where their comfort level is. We're comfortable here. We like it here. It's close to home for me. It's actually the perfect situation for me and my family. We don't want to leave at all. Hopefully we'd love to get something done, either here now or next year, it doesn't matter. The sooner the better actually."

Great news!
I have a good feeling he will get double digit TDs in '09.

I love that guy. He needs to stay here, with this kind of wisdom at his age, I can't imagine how great a leader he would be as a veteran... but I'm getting ahead a bit on things here.

I especially like the 'It's not all about the money' part. He's a player in one of the most prestigious leagues, he's pretty much living the dream of thousand of people and he seems to understand it. Not like TO or anything.
Ted Thompson should give him a pretty big deal non the less, I would hate seeing him holding out and restructuring his contract every 2 years.

I believe he deserves Rodgers money for sure. The question is will Ted Thompson open up the pocket book or will he just draft another wr? That is the ultimate question we have to ask. Also Jennings is saying the politically correct answer right now ( I hope his words are true but you here that all the time from players).
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

There's no way a WR gets QB-type money. I want Jennings to get rewarded for his great play, but it won't be to the tune of Rodgers' deal.

He'll probably get similar to what Berrian got with the Vikes.

I'm all for resigning him long-term. Ted Thompson should make this priority #1 this offseason.

This is great news.

I think dhazer does bring up an interesting question re: cost. What will it take to keep Jennings?

I have to think he'll at least be seeking Bernard Berrian money, who got 6 years, 42 million, 16 mill. guaranteed.

Jennings is leaps and bounds ahead of Berrian as a complete WR, it's not even funny.

If he gets a contract close to that, it's Aaron Rodgers type of money.

Jennings with one arm tied behind his back and the other carrying an entire bus of Elvis impersonators while having his legs both strapped to 200 pound cast iron balls via chains = Bernard Berrian.

So yeah, 6 years, $42 million should work.
