Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
With Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson and James Jones around for receiver depth, the Packers simply couldn't justify shelling out $10.537 million for Jennings this season. GM Ted Thompson will need the salary-cap space with linebacker Clay Matthews seeking a monster contract, nose tackle B.J. Raji in need of a contract extension and quarterback Aaron Rodgers threatening to blow past Joe Flacco's record-setting deal. ... As for Jennings' future, reports on his asking price have ranged from $12 million per year all the way up to $14 million annually. According to NFL.com's Chris Wesseling, a more realistic guess is the $7 million to $9 million price range. Wesseling adds that Jennings is expected to draw some level of interest from the Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts.
