Wes Welker's not-so-daunting contract of 2 for 12 seems to make the 9 or so/year the packers are offering seem much more realistic!

I'd give Jennings a straight up 3 year $18M with a $6M signing bonus. Obviously the rest of the league has set his price tag. He can try and use the Vikings as leverage, but nobody would actually believe that Greg would want to put the rest of his career in the hands of Ponder.

He had a chance to accept Green Bay's initial offer. He rejected it because he thought the open market would pay him more. Actions have consequences and now the Packers will come down from their offer. I heard Peter King say today that you're looking at six or seven million a year. That's probably what both sides are offering. My guess is that his pride is hurt and he needs to decide whether he wants to swallow it and return to Green Bay or start afresh in Minnesota.

Not counting Mike Wallace's $12 million per year, the next highest has been $6.2 million per year and $6 million per year.

I thought Jennings was worth more and a WR needy team like the Vikings might be willing to pay more, but probably not that much more. I'm thinking at most $8 million per year... and maybe less than that.

And if plays for the Vikings he won't have a great QB throwing to him... and he's said in the past, he seems to play the worse in that dome.... then again, I guess they're going to be an out door team for a couple of years while they rebuild their place.
