Well done Vikings! We just continue getting better. Jennings brings a veteran to help our young receivers that we have and that we will be drafting this year. Very impressed with the GM the past couple years! Let's have another great draft!

Way too much money. This is stupid. I am at a loss for words. We waited too long and this was all that was left. (besides Brian Urlacher). We needed a wide out not a slot receiver. I would much rather have Welker or Amendola for half the price.

Nice signing! Cheaper than Harvin and potentially just as productive. Now lets have a good draft!

Just like airplanes lining up on a runway, Packer players are lining up to get the heck out of Green Bay and come over and play for the good guys in purple. I'm guessing Aaron Rodgers is calling his agent right now and saying "how soon before I can get outta here and go play for the Vikings?" (ha ha).

Let's see. Speilman got rid of Headache Harvin for good guy Jennings for cheaper than Harvin AND 3 draft picks. Speilman haters are gonna just sound stupid.

Forgot to mention Darren Sharper, another Packer that filled a void.

I like the fact we got him but to give a 5 year contract when maybe a 3 would have been better. I am wary of these long term contracts. Look at Tubby's long contract now a lot of people want him out and yet you still have to pay him if you do. Where is all this money coming from to do this? what did Calson do last year and we had to pay him.

With this I still like taking a WR with one of the first round picks. We'd go from having the worst receiver corps in the NFL to having something competitive. It would be all on Ponder.

HUGE fan of Jennings! Class act, and he's a Top WR in this league when healthy and he was healthy at the end of last year. The guy is still in his 20's, his injury report isn't anything too serious either. But I'm pretty sure, he signed with us only after we had another option other than Ponder. Let's get real, it was a TOUGH SELL signing anyone with just Ponder.
