OFFICIAL GREG JENNINGS TALK

Hahaha, my roommate is a hardcore Hawks fan. I give him hell for that stuff all the time.

Hahahaha, this is gold!

I heard a rumor that Jennings passed on a deal with New England to sign with Minnesota. Strange. I hate Tom Brady and even I would go catch passes from Brady instead of Ponder.

For $3 million less a year? Right.

Guess he will actually have to put the team on his back now

I`m VERY disappointed to hear this......Should we just call them the "Green Bay retirement home" ?

If he would have preferred to catch passes from Brady for $6M a year rather than $9.5M a year in Minnesota, I'm sure he would have just stayed in Green Bay for $8M a year.

You do realize that Rudolph, the tight end who is better than Mr. Finley, is still on the team correct? You also realize they have two first round picks in a deep wide receiving draft? But yes, Jennings is the only credible one. And Wright displayed zero ability to catch the football last year.

I mean seriously?

And how exactly to the Packers have a better chance at winning the Super Bowl. They have the passing game, Matthews, Raji, and a slightly above average secondary. That is about it.

As of now. Championships aren't won in March.

well its a passing league and the packers have the best one. Minn has one of the worst. There is your answer.

BTW dont get too excited about any immediate impact from any WRs you take in the draft. They take years to develop.

I find this to be somewhere between absurd and amusing, but others might find their a*s chapped by it:

Sweet jews for jesus....now we know all of the facts. Favre talked Jennings into it!

His career will turn out as well as Brett's there.

Not all of them..so that's not neccessarily a true statement.

Lol correct, there are exceptions to every rule.

But let me know which one you think is randy moss in this draft.

Even megatron had a pedestrian rookie yr

The WR draft value is heaviest in low 1st. round through 3rd. round possession-type WRs...Robert Woods would be an example. Above that, there's maybe Patterson for a big, fast wide out and Austin for the slot.

It takes rookies a year or two to build out their route tree and get in sync with their QB. I recall MM making the comment in early 2011 that he was adding to Nelson's route tree...in his 4th. year. An A.J. Green type rookie year is unusual even among high picks, and many HOF WRs don't begin to hit their stride until year 2 or 3.

there will NEVER be another Randy Moss...however i like that Cordarrelle Patterson dude from Tenn. I think he could have the type of impact in this offense that makes us forget about Greg Jennings quickly. 6'3 200 lbs? 4.4 speed? if he's even close to the Wr AJ Green is with his similar build and speed then look out. Another dark horse wr is Robert Woods. I compare him alot to Dez Bryant.

How do you feel about Patton?

Patton is the guy I would target if TT is going after a WR early. I wouldn't touch anything from that Tennessee program with a billion foot pole.

For day 3 picks I would go with Jasper Collins out of Mt Union, Conner Vernon out of Duke or Aaron Mellette out of Elon

Huh? You talking about UT out of knoxville?

Here are a few that I know of off the top of my head:
Peyton manning
Arien foster
Jabari greer
Jerod mayo
robert meachum
dante' stallworth
scott wells
Jason witten

Guess nobody wanted to reach out to those guys from UT huh?

I was referring to the 3 receivers they have in the draft. The 2 that played for them last year and the 1 that was kicked out and went to TT.

Oh, ok...this years crop. sorry.

Saw this on Facebook...lol

Jennings purchased a full page ad in the Journal Sentinel and the Press-Gazette titled "A Bittersweet Farewell". Here's the text of the ad:

Packers Nation,
It has been 7 years since I was first blessed with the opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful organization
and community. I want to take this time to thank each and every one of you for opening your arms and hearts
to my family and me, and for making Green Bay an easy place to love and call home.

Although the business side of this great game has brought about change, my family and I will be forever
indebted to the Packers organization and fans for giving us the opportunity to be a part of an amazing culture.
Even when gone or simply far away, memories are like a strong emotion, they seem to somehow stay.

“In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18
