Panthers talk to Greg Jennings

[Kuech the Sneak]

Make it happen

[KillerKat]

Jennings and Cotchery would be great mentors to Benjamin, Philly, and to our rookie if we draft another. Bersin basically is what he is. He is slow and doesn't get separation, cant play special teams. He doesn't serve a purpose to this team.

[TN05]

why not Bersin

 

I don't really see a big difference between the two, except Cotchery is declining quickly while Bersin could get better.

Plus we're paying Bersin nothing and Cotchery a good amount.

[Carl Spackler]

He could put the team on his back doe

[phone]

The guy wants to be a leader. We don't mind opening the checkbook for players like that.

[ser23vp]

Solid pick up. He will be 32 in September but has good dependable hands. #Getts

[Mr Mojo Risin]

This is good news though. That way GMan won't feel the need to reach for a WR if one isn't there at 25.

[LinvilleGorge]

why not Bersin

 

I'm at the point where I assume Bersin won't make the team.  I think we'll add another vet and another rookie in the draft.  KB, rookie, vet, Ginn, Brown.  We rollin' with that.

[KendrickPanther]

I would love to have him on the team. I would also love to still draft a WR.

[GoobyPls]

Does Jennings have anything in the tank left?

If the Vikings who are as desperate for receivers as we are let him go, it can't be for no reason

I was hoping for Crabtree but at this point I'll take anybody.

This is why I want him here.  His hands and experience.  It's what we hoped Cotchery would bring, but even last year, Cotch should not have been viewed as our WR2.  Jennings, though he might not be the sexiest FA signing, is much more reliable than guys that we wanted like Crabtree, Nicks, & Moore.  

 

Getts waited out the first rush of FAs, and now that the market has seriously died down, he is looking to pounce on a veteran.  Really surprised Jennings has lasted this long.  He's not a dominating force any more, but he certainly fits in to what this team needs at WR.

[ctrcat]

Disagree about rather having Crabtree. Would rather have Jennings.

[rmoneyg35]

Would be better signing than Nicks, Crabtree and Moore. Sure he's older but he put up decent numbers with a rookie QB this year and still put up decent numbers. Last season he had a combo of Matt Cassell, Christian Ponder and Josh Freeman but was able to put up 800 yards after missing a game. He would automatically be our number two and probably has a few years left.

[t96]

Jennings would be a fantastic #2 with KB as #1. He put up those numbers last year and the year before with sh*t QB play and literally being the only receiving threat on the field, drawing double coverage. Vikings fans across the board were shocked and upset when he was cut. And he won't count towards any comp picks we could get from Hardy walking (and the 3rd rounder Bell will get us.....).
