I think it's 3+1 since he already had 1 year left on the original deal. 4 years is still pretty good. He obviously can hit the jackpot again when he's 29/30.

Again.. I am not in the least upset that we ponied up the money to retain him.. but my opinion is he is not a top 5 receiver right this moment and one could challenge the statement that he is a top 10 receiver.

But alot of this contract is on the hope that a year or two from now he is without question a top 5 receiver in this game.. if not.. Jennings got the better end of the deal.

Again.. not a horrible deal.. we didn't horribly over pay the guy... but it is tad elevated on potential.

As far as overpaying rookie.. just because there is a flaw in the current CBA doesn't mean we have to be flawed all the way through the contract scale. A large share of the reason there was an opt out is not just to haggle over a percentage of the overall take.. but to correct this very issue.. the rookie pay scale imbalanced to the veterans chunk of the players pool and the ridiculous risks ownership takes with draft players

The list you gave you just said that Jennings is more complete than a few of those guys which I agree with.

I firmly believe in today's NFL you'll have to overpay once in a while. There is no such thing as fair market value in football minus a few exceptions. Contracts are always elevated. In a few seasons, Jennings' deal is going to look like a slam dunk for the Packers because other deals will surpass it by a great amount.

Anquan Boldin comes to mind as one.

GB has cap room to spend. There is no point in not using the cap room especially this year of all years in which the salary cap is actually in effect for likely the last one in at least a year or maybe two. If they're wise they can use this time to front load a deal like Jennings. For example If he makes 16 mil this year then the rest of the deal is pretty much a 3yr/15 million dollar contract.

I think it's a smooth way to do things.

Basically it's the same thing they did with Rodgers last year. They raise his salary for one season and then it comes back to earth.

First it was he's not a top 10, now its not top 5? Well, if my math serves me correctly, if he's not a top 10 he can't be a top 5 either. 😛

3 years is a good extension protects team from major issues in terms of injury and protects jennings with a big fat 16 mil this year
I am therefor I think.

Sad that they couldn't get more than 3 years. Although, the world is going to end in 2012 so I suppose Ted Thompson is just playing the percentages.
