I don't care who you are, that sucks....

Similar to CJ Spiller (right system, better results) - if you pair Greg Jennings (who's already a premier route runner) with an elite QB (similar to Favre & Rodgers) you get better results.

How could anyone be upset with:
Cooks
Colston
Jennings
Toon
Morgan

Solid group of WRs.

HE might get better results, but WE as a team can get the kind of production he would likely provide from what's already in house.

Jennings was clearly on the way down before he left Green Bay. You can't use the excuse of different offense on that one. I'm not insulting the guy, I'm simply calling it as I see it. He got hurt toward the end of his tenure with the Packers and when he came back he still looked beat up, and STILL looks that way to me.

If we sign him, I'm sure it won't be for much so I don't view it as a risk, per se, but I'm also not excited by it.

Spiller is about 7-8 years younger, I believe. Not even a comparison there.

2014 (last season)
Jennings had 59 catches for 742yds and 6 TD.
Colston had 59 catches for 902yds and 5 TD.

Name another WR or TE on our roster who came close to that....

If you call it like you see it, Jennings could arguably be our #1 WR in 2015.

He trashed Green Bay when he left and was underwhelming in Minnesota. That said, for the vets minimum, I'm open to taking a chance on anyone we feel could possibly contribute.

Id rather give Jennings a shot than Meachem

brees84 · 04-16-2015, 12:27 PM

He won't leave without contract

QBREES9 · 04-16-2015, 12:41 PM

He was great at one time.

FinSaint · 04-16-2015, 02:28 PM

He and Bridgewater did click very well at times last season. Jennings does do all the things you'd expect from a vet with his background - he runs routes well, he catches most of the balls thrown to him and he stays with his blocks. The only thing with him is the clear lack of speed at this point in his career, but he doesn't seem to get bothered about not being the #1 receiver.

I do think he'll sign for more than just vet minimum simply because he's still worth it, so I don't know if the Saints are really in the mix.
