Greg Jennings

[JosMN]

Finley is an silly-me if he doesn't take a paycut. Look at the market for Jennings, not good. Finely is supposed to make 8.25mil this year, not going to even come close to that anywhere else. I'd rather have a sure handed jennings for 2-3 more years and pay him 6-7mil yr than a ball dropping diva like Finley. He's been a headcase since day one and his share of injuries. He cant run block at all and blames his drops on Rodgers for "no chemistry". The guy single handly lost the packers 2 or 3 games because of the drops.

One of the worst signings in recent years by the Pack... Finnley needs to go away! He has already publicly stated he will NOT accept a pay cut or restructure his contract.

Good Luck!

+1!!

[mrklean]

I thought the pack said they would be letting Finnley go?

[zepman]

I think the Packers are paying very close attention to the mass departure of the Baltimore Ravens "key" players this year after signing Flacco to that huge contract.

Rodgers is up next....

[nofishfisherman]

Finely at $8 million would be one of the worst contracts in the NFL. He likely had more drops than receptions last season. He also had the most annoying first down celebration in the league. I realize him making a catch is a rare event and he probably thought it worthy of celebration but it just makes him look like a tool considering all of the plays he "should" have made.

I'm sure GB is trying to plan a head a little for the contract that Rodgers is certainly going to command. It doesn't look like Baltimore planned ahead as much as they should have and now they are losing guys right and left. Not sure how Baltimore is going to be able to compete next year, they may not even make the playoffs if they can't patch the holes being left behind. It wasn't like they were lights out last year during the regular season.

All this darn Baltimore talk lol, 2 championships 1 with Dilfer at the helm and a rocket or was it missile Ismail ring fitting ceremony and a Brian Billick and a Mount McKinnie and a Matt Birk and can we just do a fake ceremony for the vikes ? Back to G. Jennings, just sign him so maybe he can share what he's learned to Ponder via Rodgers.

why leave to play with a guy who can't throw?

UMMM its strictly about money at this point in Jennings career and rightfully so.

And I know this isn't exactly breaking news but the Packers have no worries at all at the WR position and Jennings won't be missed much to be truthfull.

Strong smell of Old Spice from Winter Park.

No, its not Sid Hartman.

I can already hear PA's call... Cassel drops back, he's looking deep, he's got Jennings down the sideline...touchdown!!!

[Nick Kuhn]

Apparently he has reached an agreement with the Vikings.

[Scott K]

It's a done deal

I've got a feeling we'll be hearing that more than once.

[LABS4ME]

Early word.. 5 year deal. Be interesting how high he pushed them. I figured no one in the league would do more than a three year... This my have been the way to get him his desired money stretched over a longer period.

Good Luck!

Sorry, quick correction from an above post.

PA states, "Ponder exits the game completely in hand, 29 of 30 for 352 yards"...

Length of contract really means nothing...it's the guaranteed money that counts.

Very nicely done Vikes! Jennings is a perfect fit for Ponder.

I still hope we draft a wideout 1sr round

[BuckSutherland]

Vikings sign WR Greg Jennings (5 year, $47.5M; $18M guaranteed):

What a stupid move. I take back anything good I said about Pukeman. Hope you enjoy the toliet DR pukejuice and Slobs. Donkbridge should be happy too.

[CJH]

Insert Jennings HERE:

[YiGGiN4SLoBS]

What? We signed Jennings? HOW? I was told he didnt want to come here...

I dont see how this isnt a good move. Even if it fails miserably the FO is showing the fans its serious about winning. He doesnt improve the offense in a couple years and isnt producing- cut him! Now Ponder has ZERO excuses either. He stinks up the joint this year, cut him too! I LOVE IT! I think all you Nay-sayers will enjoy watching a PROFESSIONAL wr catching passes rather then the turds covered in burnt hair we were trotting out there the last two years.

I finally can say, "bravo spielman"

NOW- LB, WR, CB, DLine in the draft and i will actually be looking forward to seeing what next season has to bring

IF spielman can do AT least as good of job as last year in the draft to add 3 or 4 more starters this team should be very interesting next year.

[DrJuice1980]

How can anybody be upset about the move? We got exactly what we needed, a #1WR, veteran, smart player, hands, everything. This is a great signing. He's going to take attention off the run. Do you haters really think that last year opposing D coordinators sat in the pre week meeting talking about stopping Jenkins, Arom, Simpson? Do you think they thought about how they're going to cover those guys? Seriously.

[luckydog25]

Great move by the Vikes. Looks to me like they gave him a long term deal that they can get out of. 18 mil guaranteed. He produces or he is gone. He is only 29 CJH...not a grey hair on his head! Haven't you seen the old spice commercials! If it works out as good as the last couple over the hill packers we have signed we are in good shape (sharper, favre).

[hugonian1]

Dump Harvin, get some high draft picks for him, and now get Jennings.

The moves are win, win, win.

We will see how things play out but so far it is looking good.
