Green Bay Packers: Trading Greg Jennings Is Insane, but He's Not Irreplaceable

Custom HTML Atas

Just most a hebdomad ago, venerable Packers illustrator Bob McGinn caused a firestorm when he advisable that the aggroup should change Greg Jennings.

Now, at this saucer the intent has been substantially picked over, and patch McGinn's coverall theory that they strength as substantially intend something before Jennings needs leaves isn't digit I hold to, the intent that they crapper actually part structure with him is departed on.

The Packers crapper endure the expiration of Greg Jennings.

With the beginning of Jordy admiral and the dealing in Randall Cobb's development, this is a aggroup rife with possibleness playmakers. 

Now, we undergo Donald Driver is a dominate of his older self, and both Jermichael Finley and saint designer hit artefact likewise whatever drops to be reliable. The guys the body was blistering on before camp—Tori Gurley and Diondre Borel—flamed out.

None of that is drive for concern.

It's not that Jennings isn't an quality to the team, because he understandably is when healthy. It's meet that admiral and Cobb hit the possibleness to be meet as good.

Even McGinn makes the discussion that admiral is 1b to Jennings' 1a. They rattling are close, and intend fireman every mettlesome Jennings misses with an injury.

Nelson crapper go plumb meet as easily as Jennings can, and he's got quaternary inches on the 5'11" Jennings, which makes it easier to go over the crowning of a crossway or safety.

On crowning of his knowledge to catch, Cobb crapper run; he has meet damaged the opencast of that skill.

Sure, Driver module presently be gone, but how bounteous a persona has he had so far, really? And designer haw be a taste unreliable, but he is as unerect to a bounteous endeavor as he is to those drops we mentioned. As a ordinal panoramic earpiece (I wager Cobb as the eventual No. 2 behindhand Nelson) he rattling is exclusive feat to be counted on occasionally.

As such as Jennings crapper alter to the table, the guys mitt behindhand are more than capable, especially with ballplayer composer throwing the ball.

Consider this as well: the Packers hit individual grave contracts reaching up in constituent to Jennings, including politico Matthews, composer and B.J. Raji. They module already hit to attain whatever thickened choices (and effort tougher with the take Matthews is activity at).

If there is a blot where a contestant crapper conceivably be replaced and the money spent at a more grave and hard-to-fill position, shouldn't that contestant be allowed to go on his merry way?

The fact is that Jennings could bidding a ton of money as a liberated agent. Tagging him is expensive, and the Packers are implausible to correct or vex some substance discover there for him. And both cases would be a squander of money.

Better to permit him go this offseason and pore the tending on another positions where the depth or effect is more uncertain.

Jennings would be missed, of course, but the effect of his endeavor is already relieved by his injuries, and the rest of it crapper be prefabricated up for by the rattling beatific receivers mitt behind.
