In the legal community I work in, we toss around the phrase "straw man" whenever someone raises a somewhat artificial conflict or question. This may not precisely fit the definition offered by Webster's New American Dictionary of Rhetorical Terminology, but I think this usage is widely recognized (straw man = artificial conflict). Whatever the case, I suppose you're right about Jenning's contract being a legitimate impending concern. I imagine that the Packers front office is largely preoccupied evaluating FAs and draft prospects right now and, though I could be wrong, I don't think they shift their focus to contract extensions until after the draft. Before we overreact to the Megatron contract by assuming that Jennings will demand a king's ransom and is gone, let's keep in mind that Mike Wallace (a player that more closely resembles Jennings) can't even garner an offer as a restricted FA. It's all highly speculative at the moment but the title of this thread is very loaded and irresponsible. My general antagonism toward this topic remains at this point.</blockquote>
