Anyone else see Jennings bending the ear of Rodgers after the game?? I read his lips and he said “Please Aaron, tell them I want to come back. I’ll play for half the money and wash your jock for the rest of the season!!” 
LOVE IT!
They can keep his injury prone ***, I think Boykin is gunna be something special just gotta keep growing his confidence, that stat about 50 out of 53 guys on the roster being packers for their entire NFL tenure is sick, we develop em and the vikes try to milk an extra year out of em, too bad they’re moving out of that glorified urinal cake they called home it just fits the organization, can’t help the disdain but would like Wisconsin to learn a little fisheries management from the republic of Minnesota
The funny part of that conversation was that Rodgers looked like he wanted nothing to do with it. Jennings has to look at the packers roster right now and drool over what could have been. All the injuries this year would have given him 15 targets a game with passes between his numbers rather than 10yds over his head.
I thought the Packers didn’t want to re-sign him or the Vikes offered more? I am sure he’ll feel better when he deposits his next check.
Pug, I think you are correct. The Packers had decided to move on without him.

Packers would of signed him but they were not willing to give him the big $$$$ that HE thought he was worth. He opted for more money and being the star receiver.
Leading up to free agency, word on the street was that Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings was looking for $12 million per year. Four days into the signing-period whirlwind, Jennings, who will turn 30 in September, agreed to terms with the Vikings on a five-year, $47.5 million deal that included a $10 million signing bonus and $18 million guaranteed.
An average salary $9 million is nice, but it ain’t $12 million. But, at the top of this game in 2012, Jennings passed up a chance to earn $11 million a year on a multi-year extension offered up by the Packers, a source told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Bob McGinn.
Jennings then suffered a concussion in training camp, and a subsequent abdominal injury sidetracked the 2012 season and deflated his value. But the Packers still wanted to keep him, just not at his suggested retail price. Instead, they reportedly had an offer on the table that would pay Jennings roughly $8 million a season.

He had a contract offer from the Packers, but went for more $ in MN.

Of course you are right about the $8 million a year. You know he is kicking his [censored] for being stupid. Screw him, his dumbass mouth lost him a hell of a lot of respect! Actually he doesn’t have to kick his own [censored], the Packers are doing a good job of that for him!!! 
Actually to keep the story straight, last year around this time the Packers offered Jennings a contract bigger than the one he currently has with the Vikings. Jennings choice to turn it down was based on his perception of what the open market would give him – about what the Dolphins gave Mike Wallace – 60 million. Jennings wanted to be the big dog and now he is, only he does not have Rodgers to make him look pro bowl 
3 thrown his way. 1 reception for 9 yds. not a great night, Craig.
