Just had this conversation today.

Pickett is out the door after this year, and he is holding a good sum of money.

If D.J. Smith plays on the same level he has been, I think we can assume the Packers will at least consider starting him and Bishop next season and (hopefully) getting some trade value out of Hawk.

The article leaves out the biggest clown of all, DeSean Jackson, signing for $10 mil a year. If Jackson is worth $10 mil, then Jennings is worth $15.

Jennings embodies the unselfish attitude of this team. He is perhaps the most dangerous YAC WR in the game and is invaluable to the offense.

I am not convinced the Packers can not afford him. The Packers will save around $8 million on Woodson’s contract next season, and a couple million more on Hawk and Driver’s contracts.

You give Raji the money that would otherwise go to Ryan Pickett, and you keep both Raji and Jennings.

I see what you are saying Kris, but how can we pay any 1 WR $11 million? We will not use any WR for $11 million worth of production. We’ll always have 3-4 guys nearing 1000 yards. I say, if someone wants 1,500 yard 15 TD money, we had better utilize that option.

I agree with that as well. Without Jennings there is no Super Bowl ring. He will be missed… I’m just hoping its not ‘gravely’ missed.

The catch in the endzone and that last drive when we absolutely needed a 1st down just to give the defense a rest (did we get a FG on that drive?). Not many receivers make both of those catches.

I think a lot of people underestimate Greg Jennings value and talent. Yes, we have guys in the wings ready and waiting for a starting spot, but Jennings is a rare talent. It would be smart for the Packers to not resign him because of the other more core players that the Packers need to keep before a WR. But, we will see the impact of losing Greg Jennings. He may be back next year under the franchise tag, but when he is gone, it will be noticable no matter who replaces him.

absolutely would hate to see Jennings go. Great receiver and good dude. I think he is talking to the press to gain some negotiating leverage, if any is to be had (public support maybe). My son thinks we can only afford to keep 3 of the 4 big name F/A – Rodgers & Matthews are locks, so it might be a toss up between Raji & Jennings. Here’s hoping Russ Ball can work some cap magic and we can keep all four!
