I'll say this. I feel this staff is doing everything possible to get Finley's mind right. Good chance one of the Packers staff members told Rodgers to keep it light with Finley. Sometimes you need to build them back up. Know what I mean?

As a Packers fan I just hope it works! Man is still a special talent.

Furthermore both Nelson and Jones will be free agents in the next couple years too. Do we need to spend 10mil a year on jennings? My vote is to tag N trade him. I think he would be easy to move. I also think we grab a weapon high in the draft.

I still think 88 is a talented dude with crazy potential... but I fear he will never put it together here before his time is up

& i know he looks to be gaining confidence recently.. I just doubt it comes together like most of us want/think

I hope i'm wrong,

I think the question between Jennings and Finely comes down to this:

Would you rather have Finely for 5 years and ~30 million and the comp pick we would get for Jennings (or even tag and trade) or Jennings for 3 years and ~30 million and the comp pick we would get for J-Mike?

Personally, I'd probably take the former.

I think there's easily a way to get them both under contract. You get Drivers deal off the books for sure, then Saturday will most likely come off as well. Woodson will either be gone or re-structured, I think we can guarantee he will not see 10 million next year. Finley will make over 7 million next year, so by extending him this off-season if they choose, or next off-season we will probably not see a rise in his cap hit against the salary cap. Jennings costs us around 4 million against the cap this year, so if they backload a deal they can make it work. All depends on what Greg gets, less than 10m and I'm game for a long-term deal, more than that and I can see why we need to part ways.

My fav tidbit from a GB reporter so far was that Jennings is doing all these commercials because he wants out of GB and showing his marketability so he can leave for a bigger city.

Yes, the man from Kalamazoo Michigan who married his elementary school sweetheart is a man who can't wait for the big city life.

Where is this Jennings is getting $10 Million a year stuff coming from?

I mean, I can understand a guy like Vincent Jackson getting that, a guy Desean getting near that. But the thing is, those guys have an elite level skill. Jackson is the Brandon Marshall, CJ type receiver that just physically dominates CBs. Desean can take any play to the house, hes a dynamic KR, PR, deep threat, etc.

But Jennings? Hes going to be a 30 year old WR coming off an injury that kept him out almost the entire year. And when a guy like James Jones hit the FA, he barely got any interest, so is that maybe because teams look at Rodgers and see that he puts his WRs in a great position a lot?

Im wondering, a similar WR(IMO) like Brandon Lloyd only got a 3 Year, $12 Million dollar contract. I feel they are similar FA WR types in that they get open by being smart, running good routes, etc. I realize that Jennings has a much more consistent history, but let me ask, going forward, do you really see Jennings as that guy? The guy that can continue to be a #1 option in the passing game despite no elite physical skill? Reggie Wayne is the same way, despite all his production, he got a 3 Year, $17.5 Million Dollar Contract. Not that much. But the guys that get the big money? Theyre the guys with an elite skillset. So let me ask you guys, do you really think Jennings is getting that much in FA?
