Now, I've been reading a few articles here and there about people concerned about whether or not we will extend the four-year rookie contract of Greg Jennings. Relax. It will happen. Ted drafted him. Ted likes him. Mike likes him. Greg wants to be a Packer "for a long time."
Everyone always preaches about Ted's philosophy of drafting players and developing them; he doesn't like picking guys up for big bucks in free agency. Who knew he'd find such a stud receiver out of Western Michigan? Surely he wants to keep one of his brightest picks around to help the team, if not just to make himself look like a mastermind on draft day. Part of me hopes we sign him quickly to potentially keep the contract from making a huge impact on salary cap numbers. The other part hopes Greg gets his...he's played well, one of the best receivers in the league, definitely makes the team better, and he's never 'hot-doggin' (one of my biggest dislikes of more and more athletes).
So please, fret not. Diggs thinks we'll be seeing Greg in green and gold for years to come with plenty more of these:
