[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 476434"] That's a little misleading. Jennings cap hit this year is somewhere around $7.5 mil if the GBPG numbers are to be believed. If you give Jennings the tag and replace Driver with a minimum salary guy, it's close to a break even proposition in 2014 cap hit over 2013. Since we're talking about a front line skill position player, the question comes down to whether he presents a good $10 mil. franchise value taking into account the available alternatives. I doubt it. My guess is the team will offer a low ball multi-year deal (maybe 4 years), and let him do the Jones/Wells shop-the-market thing and then see if he comes back. How it shakes out will depend quite a bit on how he springs back from the injury. A season ending injury recurrence would kill his FA value if it isn't severely damaged already. Over the next couple years Rodgers gets a huge but cap friendly deal; Raji's value has been cut in half over the last 2 seasons and may get replaced anyway if the right talent/value appears in the draft; Matthews is a wild card. We'll get cap savings from Woodson's renegotiation/departure and Pickett's departure. Way too many things can happen, particularly injuries, over the next 2 years to draw any clear conclusion other than Rodgers gets his money, and that's most of the battle. [/QUOTE]
