Colts in on Greg Jennings talk [Merge]

[Dark Superman]

Well, this was a shock to me..

Greg Jennings - WR - Packers

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Total Access that the Packers still haven't ruled out re-signing free agent Greg Jennings.

"I hear the Packers are still trying to negotiate with him," Rapoport stated. Rapoport did acknowledge that Jennings has "significant interest," with the Colts, Browns, and Vikings as potential competitors with Green Bay. We ultimately don't expect the Packers to meet Jennings' asking price. He should hit the market.

Hmmmmm

[Dark Superman]

I like Greg.. A lot. I think he would fit nicely. But I'm not sold on him or his asking price.

[smittywerb]

Ehhhhh

[James]

Wayne, Jennings, Hilton, Fleener and Allen? With Luck throwing the ball?

 

Um, yes please.

[Smonroe]

Noooooo!

[LockeDown]

Me like.

[John Dee]

I am convinced Indy will bring in another WR...    question is who and how much?  Vet vs Rookie?  

 

If they are going to spend big I prefer Welker....   but Jennings is a very productive player.

[ColtJ82]

Has anyone else noticed that every available FA has interest from the Colts and the Browns?

Agree. But why do you prefer Welker? Jennings is younger and is better on the outside than Welker (which is where Jennings would play here since Hilton got the slot).

I believe you are right; Indy will be adding a fresh face to the receiving corps. Quite honestly, I'd prefer to draft one at this point. I would have loved a big target like Bowe or Boldin; however, with both of them gone I would rather save money and draft out next wide receiver of the future IF the right man is available. Otherwise, I'd say sign a mid level vet like Amendola and draft our WR of the future in the first next year... Just my opinion.

[Truckin Sanders]

Meh. Can we try addressing something that isn't a skill/sexy position for once? Having Jennings wont stop Luck from being molested by defenders.

[TKnight24]

Well, everyone who loved those repetitive WR threads..... here's what you wanted

Right cuz you know for a fact that the Colts aren't thinking about signing OL right?

[corgi]

I'm not against it as long as we address our other needs. He's a very good player.

[buccolts]

Has anyone else noticed that every available FA has interest from the Colts and the Browns?

 

Yes, and what does that say about the Bengals?

[buccolts]

Would Old Spice photo shop in a Colts jersey?

[dgambill]

Let me just say I want to fix our OL as priority #1......but with the cap space we have...doesn't mean we can't have our cake and eat it too! Look at what Tampa Bay landed last year...and the players we are targeting are no where near the money that those guys were asking for.

[iM COLTSSTRONG]

3yr 17.5mil like waynes.....SURE!!!

 

otherwise pass....

[dgambill]

3yr 17.5mil like waynes.....SURE!!!

 

otherwise pass....

Uhh he is a bit younger than Wayne and a pro bowl caliber receiver....he is gonna get 8-9 mil easy.

[cbear]

Has anyone else noticed that every available FA has interest from the Colts and the Browns?

 

With all the cap space we have, it's easy for any reporter to just throw our name in there as a potential landing spot, or that we are interested, blah, blah.  Hard to take any of it seriously.

[ColtJ82]

Yeah that was my point.......the speculation is just stupid at this point. Can't wait until tomorrow at 4pm.

[Peytonparker]

3yr 17.5mil like waynes.....SURE!!!

 

otherwise pass....

Than I think you will be passing on him then. Since his deal would most likely be somewhere in the 3yr. 25 mil range

[LockeDown]

Well, everyone who loved those repetitive WR threads..... here's what you wanted

 

That's what I wanted.  He's fixing the Oline and getting a top notch WR.  Both.  Like we've been saying....both.

[BOTT]

Has anyone else noticed that every available FA has interest from the Colts and the Browns?

That's why I take these reports with a grain of salt. Do we really think the info comes from the teams OR from the agents who think it would be swell if other teams believed deep pockets teams had interest in their clients?

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Intrusting not against that.

[Jules]

I am cool with just about any FA we are linked too.

 

Including a *gasp* WR.

 

 

Sign the monsters!!! Or sign A monster to help build the monster!!!

Wouldn't take him for anything near what he's asking for, but he would be a nice addition for the right price.

Does free agency begin at midnight eastern?

I think there is a thread already made about this topic. Free Agency starts at 4:00 pm EST.

[NewColtsFan]

Yes....  FA is Tuesday 4p eastern time....  1p on the West Coast where I live....

 

So,  hopefully I won't be throwing-up my lunch with the news of some bizarre signing!

[PatMcAfeeFan]

I wouldn't mind him for a 4yr/ 28 mill contract. 7 mil a year is at the top that I would spend on a guy who will be approaching 30 soon enough. 

[The Peytonator]

Red herring to throw everyone off.

[Dustin]

He's going to get at least 8.5 million a year.

[Mr. Blue]

Everybody is "interested" in a big name player, but few are willing to cough up big name money.

[coltsfansince65]

I would think the Vikes are gonna persue him strongly now that Harvin is gone to Seattle.

[Bubba]

Meh. Can we try addressing something that isn't a skill/sexy position for once? Having Jennings wont stop Luck from being molested by defenders.

Agree totally. IMO I think that Grigs will be going after O linemen & defense. I would actually be shocked if we signed a big name FA wide receiver.

[Restored]

At this point, the recently fired Pizza Hut Delievery Boy has drawn interest from the Colts per people with knowledge of the situation.

[The Peytonator]

I honestly wouldn't hate this move like I orginally thought. He'll be cheap (compared to Wallace/Bowe), and we all know he's a quality WR. It's not like we're exactly stacked at the position anyway, we just know there's bigger needs. Wayne/Hilton/Brazill/Whalen doesn't exactly strike much fear into opponents. Jennings is still in his prime IMO, so we should be able to get a good 3 years out of him while developing a younger WR.

[southwest1]

Why in the world are we talking to Gregg Jennings? Look, I respect his experience & Championship clout, but what does Reggie Wayne think of this move? Does that signify a not so gentle push out the door for #87? 

 

We do not need another WR...What the bleep is Grigson doing?!! WR is not a glaring need at all IMO...A troubling turn of events if this story pans out...
