Once again the Vikings take our sloppy seconds. Glad they overpaid for him so GB wouldn't be tempted to. There's a reason he was still on the market.

I didn't realize he's only 29. I thought he was older.

I don't think he does.

Based on who GB gets back on defense and O-Line from IR, they will be just fine. Pick up a few hole fillers in the draft and they are fine.

Granted, I would have liked Jackson, but I am glad TT didn't get into a bidding war and overpay... he wasn't a necessity.

I don't care if you go to another team outside the division...

There is a difference.

If he went to the Dolphins, I would have been kosher. Any team but the Bears, Vikings or Lions is good for him.

Agree with the comment on Jackson. I wanted him but only at the right price.

I think we could use an extra weapon on offense and adding a defensive player wouldn't hurt.

I haven't paid too much attention so if you could fill me in please do, but why cut Woodson to create cap space if they aren't going to make any moves?

Because Thompson is banking on using that money to re-sign Rodgers and Matthews. The money will get used, one way or another.

He said multiple times he wanted to go to Miami or return to GB. Those teams didn't show interest, so he went where he had to imo.

The Vikings had a better record against tougher teams without Percy last year. They've resigned most of the team which got them there last year and have 4 picks in the first two rounds.

Meh, not too broken up about it. I've always liked Jennings, but he's been slowed down the past couple of years with injuries and such. I'd like to wish him the best, but he's with the Vikings, so I hope his career & team both go greatly downhill from here. :devil:

Nelson, Jones, & Co. will do just fine. Be interesting to see how Jennings does without one of the best QBs in the NFL at the helm. I'm especially glad they didn't give him a five-year deal.

My best memory of Jennings as a Packer, though, has to be watching him flip out after they clinched the Super Bowl...that was sweet.

Agreed. I think Ted likes a RB in the draft, I hope he drafts Montee Ball I the second (I don't think he'll be around come late 3rd)

Do they have any money? They spent a lot last year.......but maybe Jay Cutler has matured? Or got rid of that rare injury bug that only bites when the bears are down by 7.

Coming from a Packers fan, this might be an average year for them. They are banking only on all of the injury ridden to come back. The first guy that pulls a hamstring, the strength and conditioning coach should be dragged in the stadium parking lot and beatin. All of the other contenders have upgraded, honestly they are not the class of the NFC, hell I'm worried about the Lions

$18 million guaranteed. like i said, they overpaid.

from a Packers perspective, Cobb is getting about $1m a year, albeit on a rookie contract, Jones is getting about $3m a year, and Jordy about $4.

I can see how they couldn't justify giving that much to Jennings. I love Jennings, but if they had given him that much, I'd be livid right now wondering how we're gonna pay Rodgers, Raji, and Matthews.

Extremely disappointed by this news. Didnt really care when Sharper, Favre, and Longwell went to the Vikings but this one really hurts. Jennings still has a ton left in him. Not sure if Ted Thompson made an offer that was close to the Vikings or not. If the Vikings paid him alot more I can understand it. But if the deals were close it is extremely disappointing. He could have been a Packer for life like Driver but instead took off for a rival. Hope he likes having no QB throwing to him and no chance to win a super bowl for the rest of his career. In 20 years when he has an extra couple million in the bank but nothing else to show for it he may very well regret this decision. Sorry to see you go Greg

i don't get that response. he's been a very very good, not great player in his prime, he's now 30 years old and now has a significantly poorer quarterback throwing him the ball. He is going to suddenly get better to make him worth that contract?

Don't get me wrong, I've always like Jennings. But he's been a product of having Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre sling the ball to him and having other weapons to take coverage off of him. With Nelson, Jones, Cobb, etc., you can't offer help to cover him without leaving another good receiver open. Now, Jennings will be drawing every team's #1 corner (and then some) with no other above average receiver to draw coverage and a QB that struggles to get his receivers the ball.

You also forget what kind of receivers Minny had. Zero essentially, other than Harvin, and I seem to recall Ponder getting Harvin the ball effectively before he got hurt.

so does being the only decent receiver on the team and not having a future hall of famer throwing you the ball lol. but okay, you're right, he's jerry rice now. I forgot how prolific the Vikings passing game this past season with that great running game.

Harvin is smaller, faster, quicker, and more versatile than Jennings is. He lined up in the backfield leading to plenty of touches.

I think it's this, yes, they overpaid. BUT, they NEEDED a reliable receiver if they have any hopes of properly developing Ponder. In that respect, it was a good move and one they just had to make.

Did you watch every Vikings game last year like I did? Not likely as you're a GB fan. Wright is a weapon. Did great towards the end of the season. Why only at the end? That would be because he didn't start most of the season. That is a weapon. We now acquired another, to go with the phenomenal running game. Like I said, we'll talk after next season is over...

I think that the money they gave him was about what the Packers were offering, including the 10M they offered last season. I dont think they underpaid, but it wasnt a gross overpayment either. They need the help and were willing to spend to get him - just the nature of the beast. Need drives these deals. Gotta believe that if he stays healthy things will work out well. There is no one else to throw to.

Harvin is certainly better but management is so dumb. Harvin only pointed out what every Vikings fan pointed out last season and he gets kicked for that, but we do still have 2 first round picks and the Vikes will still hopefully pick up a good CB and Brian Urlacher in the next week.

They better move on before the season ends if he fails which is most likely

Jennings fits in so well with the Vikings. They really needed a precision route runner who can go up and get those 50/50 balls. He might do wonders for Jarius Wright's career too. Ponder showed almost no progression reading ability last year, he needs a trustworthy guy who he can just toss it up to when he gets in trouble.

Harvin was a cancer even before he started complaining. He's an amazing, amazing player, but he's worthless in the traditional offense. Poor release, average at best route running, his size, his only worth is as a hybrid type player..

03-15-2013, 10:41 PM
Dear Sweet Baby Jesus,

I was hoping it would be for a little less, but good to have Greg Jennings Minnesota Vikings (how good does that sound Packers faithful) on the roster. So, for less money than they would have had to pay Harvin, they were able to get a comparable/better pass catcher and gain 3 draft picks. Granted Jennings is older and doesn't return kicks, but I think everyone knows how much Harvin was taken out of the kicking game a la Devin Hester.

azviking101
03-15-2013, 10:44 PM
I am a little mad that they didn't look at Leon Washington and Josh Cribbs. They could have asked for Washington in that trade.

Return game was a big part of the offense with Harvin and the guys that filled in after injury were awful.

Really? 16 returns in 9 games is a big part of the offense? I know he breaks one here and there, but a guy taking a kick out of the endzone 9 yards deep and getting to the 20 is the same as taking a knee and getting the 20. The only difference is the guy who returns the kicks is averaging 29 yards per kickoff return.

Look at the stats again, Sherels was not that bad, he just needs to figure out when to take a knee.

In my book that is a big difference. Sherels doesn't have the speed for 40+ yard kick returns.

Congrats Vikings fans. Jennings has been a blast to watch. I'll never forget his XLV TD and the play up the middle to keep the drive alive. His time had come and gone with the Packers simple as that.

I wish him best of luck against the Bears & Lions and his worst games ever against the Pack. Good for him to get paid, just stings it's for rivals. If I'm blessed to be there when he arrives back at Lambeau, I'd give him a standing ovation... I just might boo slightly while I do. lol

If any Vikings fans are looking for Greg Jennings patches, gu or autos I've got some to move!

Not trying to sway your opinion, but a quick glance at his stats show several 70+ yard returns in the last few seasons. He is at least a resonable option if they don't find anything else.

Easy Brah, if you read all of my last posts across multiple threads they're all about Jennings and wishing him luck in the future. I'm not a hater. I just know that I haven't kissed a man, maybe ever, and it struck me a "thankfulness overflowing". Just made me laugh... and all 'hate' aside the Vikes WR position was pretty desperate, correct?

I just read that he'll be wearing #15 next year. That'll be odd.

I think this is a good signing for the Vikings. 5 years might be a bit much, but having it only be a guaranteed $18mil is very nice. Obviously it'll come out to more then that and probably at least around $6-$7mil/year but when you only have Simpson, Wright, and Burton as signed WR on your roster, you had to make a move and this was the right one. Jennings is only 29 and still has some years left, does he have 5? I don't think so! But I think they can get a good 2-3 out of him. Now the Vikings need to address the WR position in the draft with either Tavon Austin or Keenan Allen! Also would like to see them sign a CB and MLB in free agency. Now the rumor is swirling that the Vikings are going to possibly go after Brian Urlacher. I'd take him for 2 more seasons, it'd be a good move at the right price in my opinion! SKOL!

As a Packers fan I can honestly say I would have loved to see him stay in GB only if he was HAPPY TO BE A PACKER. He needs to be happy to be a Packer more than he wants, a paycheck because the Packers are fairly small-market. He has been unhappy and wanting out of GB for months. His sisters' tweets combined with the fact that he listed his house for sale MONTHS is major evidence that he had no desire to be a Packer.

Don't discount what Jennings did in Green Bay...he had a helluva career with the Pack. But injuries have slowed him down, and he hasn't quite looked like the same player (in my eyes) since the Super Bowl win. Without Rodgers and starting the downside of his career, I don't think he's worth what the Vikings paid him. But we shall see...

The Vikings have won zero Superbowls in the history of all time, have lost their last 5 straight NFC Championship games, but have generally put good teams out on the field. I'm 29 years old and have yet to even see my favorite football team in the Superbowl.

As a Minnesota sports fan (Vikings, TWolves, Twins, Wild/Northstars), I have only seen 2 teams make it to the "big dance" in my lifetime, both of which were over 20 years ago, so I was too young to even appreciate it.

I would LOVE to just see one of my favorite teams just make it into the finals/SB/WS. I would be estatic to see that.

It would be very different if the Vikings had a terrible team year in and year out, but in reality, they have one of the best records in the NFL since their inception...they just suffer from the some of the worst playoff streaks I've ever seen. Sometimes I wonder if it would be better if they just sucked every year so I didn't have to deal with watching them get knocked out in the playoffs. I EXPECT them to lose in the playoffs. Why wouldn't I? I've never seen anything different than that in my lifetime.

What do you want me to talk about in reference to football? Is last season okay to talk about? How far back can I go?

I mean, I guess I could start with last season... NFC North Champions.

Or the season before that... NFC North Champions.

But I think I might be going back too far if I go the season before, because then I will be talking about Super Bowl Champions... we don't want to do that.

I just want to make sure I know the ground rules before I discuss NFC North football with you.



I am pretty sure you asked for my reply? What the #@#@#@#@ do you want from me? I even posted the topic at hand at the bottom.

You have a magical ability to ignore everything being talking about?

I even added to get back on topic...

If we talk about the offseason and just the thread at hand, Vikings won. They got Greg Jennings, 1st round pick, 4th round pick, 7th round pick for Percy Harvin essentially. Packers have done nothing this offseason...

Vikings win current football... hurray!

Thank you for your quality contributions.

To be honest at the time the Cardinals were 4-2 and had already beaten the Seahawks and Patriots. But this has nothing to do with win or lose, so I'm not sure what your point is?

you're welcome, if you took the time to read the title of the thread and then the first several pages of the thread itself you would see that my primary contributions came when the thread was actually on topic.

my point is, it seems you just like to argue.

Do the vikings have enough $$$ to get Brandon Lloyd if the Vikings wanted to?

It would be interesting to see how much cap room they have left. I'm guessing it's getting pretty tight right now. If manage is "all in" on Ponder, they should have saved the Cassel money to work at keeping Winfield. JMHO.

i can't imagine brandon lloyd would cost you too much. he would be a good signing for you. lloyd and jennings with wright in the slot and rudolph at TE isn't terrible at all.

Freethrowtommy I get it there is a rivalry between the vikings and packers but why do you insist on coming into this thread and just pouring negativity all over it? You completely hijacked this thread and made it into your own. I just wanted to read about Jennings not be reminded of crushing defeats in the past or the super bowl title we have yet to attain.

I personally have little hope for Simpson, but there are some who think he and Jennings can line up on the outside with Wright in the slot and we're set. If anything they need to pick up some depth if not another outside starter.

Yeah I'm not to sure about Simpson either. If it was between him and Jenkins, I'd run with Simpson though. I still believe the Vikings have one more good pickup they'll make, either on offense or defense. Winfield may even come back with a restructured contract. I read that there is still that possibility. One more decent WR pickup, and then a good draft would leave solid.

Interesting if true. Doesn't say what the guaranteed money was or the length of the offered contracts though.

I think the telling part would be if the lengths and guaranteed money are ever released that the Packers were offering.

I have a feeling that the 5 years and $18 million were both higher than the Packers were comfortable with.

I am glad TT didn't drop that kind of money on the position with the depth already there.

The Vikings needed a WR since they traded Harvin to Seattle. Hopefully Jennings can stay healthy.

Now I know why the Dolphins didn't sign him.

I would have wished he was a Phin but that's a big price tag.

All the best to him though!

Jerry Rice thinks Jennings was a better pickup for less cash than Wallace.

I thought that would have happened a long time ago with all your sarcastic Pats hating... I got the idea from you.

Until the plate magically gets "stolen" and you have "no idea" how it happened... just so you can get a new one. But let's be honest... you love it.

Typical Packers fan hatin when they leave. Same thing with Favre. I like the pick-up. Regardless of what the Packers fans say, we are better the than we were. Even if it was their so called sloppy seconds. He was hurt wasn't he?? Those same Packers fans said no way AP was MVP. OOOOPS

What do you call a Viking with a Super Bowl ring?

An ex-Packer. ;)

P.S. I don't think there was anyone outside of a Broncos fan saying anyone other than AP should have been MVP. He carried that team on his back.

Jennings could very well get a second ring some day. If he gets traded. ba-dum-bump!
