It seems like it wasn't that terrible catching passes from Rodgers after all.
I'd take him back with open arms... If he's ready to take on a mentor type role for the young WR's and get paid like a 4th reveiver.
I concur. Who would you get rid of? Janis? Abby?Whether you think the bridges are burned or not, it doesn't change the fact that we have absolutely no need for a veteran WR.
I'd like to thank Greg Jennings for serving as a warning to Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb with the last 2 years of his career. We'll never know if that had anything to do with their decisions to take less to stay in town, but it couldn't have hurt.
According to a league source the Vikings asked Jennings to restructure his contract but he didn't agree to it.
http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/3652/greg-jenningsJennings was scheduled to count $11 million against the cap and became expendable when the Vikings traded for Mike Wallace. His release saves Minnesota $9 million in cap space as a post-June 1 cut, but leaves $2M in dead money. Coming off a 59/742/6 line, 31-year-old Jennings should draw interest as a veteran No. 3 receiver. Jennings joins Michael Crabtree, Stevie Johnson, Dwayne Bowe, and Cecil Shorts as the top available free-agent wideouts. The Vikings will move forward with Charles Johnson and Wallace as their starters on the outside. Jarius Wright figures to man the slot.

Wouldn't surprise me.Bears
Yup. Cap casualty.

To his defense he couldn't have been in a worse situation this past year
3 qbs and essentially the #1 focal point of defensive coordinators as AP was gone and Patterson didn't feel like playing to his potential
It's how these things work. It's more or less he burned a bridge on his way out hurting his chances of making money after he retires by being associated with the team.Certainly true, but Jennings all along had the power to avoid that situation. We certainly did want to keep him, we made him multiple fair, competitive offers, and he told us to get bent.
