Vikings Release Greg Jennings

[csx]

Boom, this can be our Shockey type signing I was talking about. Chances are we won't sign him though, he's too well known for us to go after. I am finding out it seems like Gettleman's goal is to sign players that will make Panther fans uninamously ask "Who?!?" after it gets announced we signed them.

Like that guy they made a movie about?

[DeeJay]

Bring him in!

If those tweets are to be judged Greg Jennings is a great locker room guy. If so he would be a natural fit for the sort of 'family' atmosphere in our locker room.

He wasn't just a good lockeroom guy. He was their #1 receiver:

2014 Vikings receiving yards

588 - age 25 Jarius Wright 4.42 forty/38 inch vertical, 4th R

We haven't made a single above dollar store pickup. Would love for Jennings to be the one.

This whole thread is just Gettlemanjack spam. :/

I read that as sperm. Did not want.

[Moorgan]

I think, like many others, that he would a strong signing. Would absolutely love it. All that love from Vikings fans and he was a GB guy most of his career killing them.

But aren't we like seriously out of money this year? Could we maybe sign him to a multi yr deal that only hits like 1 mil this yr and the 4m he might get plus the 3 he won't get this year?

So like a 1/7/4 deal or something? Only way I see us even having the room to do it. And that goes for anyone really. Unless we restructure I think we're close to broke.

[Fox007]

He'd instantly be our 2nd best WR....definitely a short term upgrade.

[PhillyB]

now that would be awesome.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

if we're gonna pull the trigger on anybody it needs to be him

 

that would turn our receiver corps into a borderline strength
