Peterson gives a shoutout to Greg Jennings, regarding his sports hernia.

Peterson: "The pain was a 10 on a scale of 10. Put it like this, I developed a new respect for Greg Jennings who had the same type of injury. Initially I thought Greg was tripping and that he needed to be playing, but when I got it I was like I understand, bro. This is nothing to fool with."

Interesting the tidbits of mutual respect between Peterson and Jennings. Maybe its destiny.

Wide receiver Greg Jennings has put his Green Bay house on the market and all signs continue to point toward his departure from the Packers in free agency.

Less clear is where Jennings might be playing next. A lot of teams have been thrown out as potential landing spots and a few of them came up during an interview with Lindsay Rhodes of the NFL Network. Jennings said he’d have no trouble jumping to the Packers’ NFC North rivals in Minnesota, saying all 31 teams would be an option, and he was a bit more expansive when asked about the possibility of reuniting with former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin with the Dolphins.

Jennings: “I wouldn’t mind that at all. The weather’s definitely nice. They have an up and coming quarterback and they definitely have a defense that’s pretty solid and some pieces on offense that are pretty solid as well.”

Jennings is creating a market for himself.
Its exactly what he should do.
Any team with cap space (or potential cap space) is an option right now.

My prediction, is we will be that team that is used by the agent to leverage better deals from other teams.

The point is, we've been snubbed plenty of times recently.

Thats why I could totally see a team (like Seattle) pursue Jennings after us and offering him a deal he won't regret.

Honestly? I think Jennings has seen more then enough of Christian Ponder to realize he doesn't want to finish out his career in Minnesota. The Vikings will be used for strictly leverage here. You can't go from dating a 10 (Rodgers) to dating a solid 6 (Ponder). Tannehil atleast has a hose, some promise and in a system he is very comfortable with. Jennings will be a Dolphin...book it.

Plus mediocre QB play is much more tolerable in 80 degree weather.
