I don't think he can command that kind of #1 WR money because as good as Jennings is, he's not a franchise #1 receiver.
I hope we can keep him at a reasonable price on a 4-5 year deal

how is he not a franchise #1 receiver?
That's not what I meant. I mean he's not the kind of player that is going to be able to demand a giant contract that the elite are getting. He won't come cheap if we do resign him, but he won't be getting $80-100 million.
Maybe I used the wrong term. He's not Dre or Fitz, that's what I meant
uhhhh look at the amount of money that Vincent Jackson and Pierre Garcon just got and look at their numbers compared to jennings. He is obviously not Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald or Calvin Johnson but he absolutely has the CAPABILITY to demand a TOP 5 WR contract in the NFL if he wanted to. Now whether or not he asks for that kind of money is up to him and his agent. My personal feeling is that he would not go for the throat on a contract and try to win more super bowls with his team in green bay.
Yeah, but everyone knows those teams grossly overpaid, as teams are wont to do in the early stages of free agency. It's part of the reason why Ted stays out of the game in the beginning and waits for the dust to settle.
I hope this isn't taken the wrong way, because I dig Greg Jennings and think he is a very good wide receiver. And there's nothing wrong with being very good. But he's not what I would consider great. He doesn't have that intangible "It" factor that Calvin and Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald have. While I hope he stays a Packer for the duration of his career, he's fairly easy to replace as good, talented receivers are almost a dime a dozen like running backs are.
It doesn't matter if they overpaid or not, when a price is given that is what all agents and players use as their reference for negotiation.
I don't think a receiver of Greg Jennings talent is easily replaceable but that's my opinion.
We've got several guys who are going to be a FA next year. I believe that Jennings is going to be ballin' this year as well as the othersI don't think he can command that kind of #1 WR money because as good as Jennings is, he's not a franchise #1 receiver.
