Merged: Greg Jennings wants how much a year?

Greg Jennings wants what?????

Report: Greg Jennings wants $14M per season

Tom Pelissero of ESPN Twin Cities "heard" at the Combine that free agent Greg Jennings is seeking $14 million a year.

$14M a year would make Jennings the NFL's third highest paid wide receiver behind only Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. No one is going to pay that much for an injury-prone wideout entering his age-30 season. Per Pelissero, there is a "popular theory" among NFL front offices that wide receivers will "sit on the market" like inside linebackers did last year. In other words, they may price themselves out of the initial wave of free agency.

Has he lost his mind? He thinks he should be the 3rd highest paid WR? After his last two seasons? Mike Wallace is looking better & better. Fans might want to put the brakes on Greg Jennings to Miami, just a bit.

Bye bye Jennings! No way he gets paid that much, and all it does is rises Wallace's value

This has to be his agent yapping in his ear. I understand that you start high and negotiate lower but as Richie use to say, "Golly gee, Fonz."

That can't be true.

At 14 mil per season Joe Philbin will come up with a case of selective amnesia.

no wonder Green Bay is letting him go, he's delusional.

That's insane! No way he is worth more than Wallace. I was thinking 7 to 8 maximum. 14 is Ludacris!!!!!

I really don't think this is true at all... theres no way..

Rumor BS.

Granted FA's are generally overpaid, but a raise after his pedestrian season in Green Bay makes little sense.

Don't see why he would be worth any less than Mike Wallace.

Uhhh...no. He's not getting even close to that.

I expect that the majority of FAs will be disappointed this year in terms of how much they think they'll get and what they end up with. The team salary cap is flat and you're not getting the huge bump in average salaries you annually got from the draftees. I could see free agency opening with a whimper this year.

Nice try Mike Wallace.

Resign Hartline and sign Wallace. Then draft someone. See ya Jennings.

Agreed, and add in Ireland's penchant for haggling down to the last dollar and think our Fa period is not going to open with a bang.

It is called negotiating what do you guys expect him to ask for? 8M?

I know you start high and negotiate lower but 14 million might just turn teams off. There's high and then there's delusion

Maybe but there has to be some reasoning behind that insane number. He's worth about half of that so start in the 10 million range and "settle" in the 7 million range. What are teams to do? He starts at 14 million, they counter with 0 and they agree to meet in the middle? If he's starting at 14 million he must think he's truly a 10-12 million a year player. He's far from it

Wallace wants more than Vincent Jackson's $11m/year.

Breaking.....Phinsrdbest wants only $100k a year

Mortenson was saying we may try to sign both Jennings and Wallace.

Since we are starting negotiations with extremes...I suppose Ireland's counter was minimum wage, although he's upset that it could be raised, thus losing leverage in negotiations.

Wow, that's just crazy. No way I'd pay him that.
