When Bob McGinn suggested the Green Bay Packers should trade wide receiver Greg Jennings this year, many fans thought he was nuts despite being one of the most respected voices on the Packers beat.

The thinking of many fans, bloggers and beat writers alike was along the lines of, “receivers like Jennings don’t come around very often.  Ted would be nuts to let him walk.”

It’s a very easy argument to understand. Jennings and Aaron Rodgers share a unique chemistry and that’s not something Thompson can replace with draft pick, even a first round selection.   He’s also one of the most beloved players on the team by the fans so naturally they refuse to consider the idea of Jennings in any other colors than green and yellow.

That said, one must consider the reality of the situation.  Rodgers himself admitted it’s a very real possibility Jennings won’t be back in 2013.  Plus the Packers are faced with signing Jennings, Rodgers, Clay Matthews and BJ Raji in the next few years. Jordy Nelson also will need a new contract thanks to his stellar play.  It’s very possible one of them will be a casualty of simple math as the Packers try to stay a reasonable amount under the salary cap.

Unbelievably, that casualty very well could be Jennings.  Read more... (1107 words + 1 image, estimated 4:26 mins reading time)

Could Greg Jennings be putting a different team on his back in 2013? Not likely.

The 2012 NFL season literally just got underway and already some Green Bay Packer fans are thinking about the 2013 offseason.

Thanks to some recent comments by free agent-to-be Greg Jennings and his MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers,  it’s becoming clear that Jennings could be playing the 2013 season in a uniform other than the Green and Gold.

First, here is what Jennings had to say on the matter on ESPN’s Mike and Mike in the morning:

“I definitely want to be here, but understanding the nature of the business, you never know. There is really nothing else I can really say or do. The ball is not in my court at all. I have to play the cards that I’m dealt. Right now it’s football. That’s my focus.”

This really isn’t a cause for panic nor is it really any different than what he has said in the past.  Jennings has maintained all along he wants to remain a Green Bay Packer.  This mindset is the best for the Packers if this indeed truly Jennings’ mindset right now.

What Rodgers had to say, however, probably raised more than a few eyebrows.  Here’s what he told ESPN Milwaukee’s Jason Wilde on his weekly radio show on ESPN 540:

“I think you have to be realistic about it and think that it might be. I have loved my time with Greg. Greg and I are going to be buddies whether he’s here or not.”  Read more... (1062 words + 1 image, estimated 4:15 mins reading time)

What do Greg Jennings' recent comments mean for the Packers?

Jermichael Finley usually has the distinct honor of being the most vocal member of the Green Bay Packers whether it is in regular media interviews or his much scorned Twitter account.

As of late, however, someone is slowly sneaking up on Finley and trying to wrestle away his title.

That person, to the surprise of some, is none other than Pro Bowl WR Greg Jennings.   Jennings recently has made headlines for calling out a division rival as well as opening up about the Packers’ loss in last year’s playoffs to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants.

In an interview with NFL Network, Jennings talked about perhaps the team that presents the biggest threat to the Packers’ throne atop the NFC North—the Detroit Lions.  Here is what Jennings had to say about Detroit:

“They’re a very talented team, but they have struggles on the field containing their composure, and definitely, the things we’ve heard of, them being in the media with off-the-field problems and off-the-field issues. Can they maintain their composure? Can they be a professional ball club for 16, 17, 18 solid weeks throughout the regular season?”

I’m not knocking Jennings for what he had to say here.  He’s absolutely right. The Lions are a team that is one of the most talented in the league, but as the Packers saw last Thanksgiving as well as this offseason with a fair amount of players being arrested, the apparent lack of maturity could keep the team from making it to the next level and competing for a Lombardi Trophy.  Read more...
