Source: Green Bay Packers refuse to place franchise tag on WR Greg Jennings - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN
Quote:
The path is now clear for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings to leave via free agency.
A source told FOXSports.com that the Packers decided against using their franchise tag on Jennings, whose contract expired at the end of last season.
No surprise here. Packers would have been really dumb to tag him. Jennings is kinda overrated and isn't that good. His numbers aren't bad but let's not forget the fact that he's got one of the best QBs throwing at him. Rodgers can make every WR look great.Quote:

I think Randal Cobb and Jordy Nelson made this decision real easy for the Packers to not franchise him.
Agreed. Odds are we'll be snatching up a WR in the draft too most likely.Quote:
