Hypothetical (GJ)

[MikeIsGood]

IF we didn't feel good about resigning Jennings and things weren't going well, would you be interested in contacting Arizona about Anquan Boldin?

Just thought it could be an interesting discussion.

If Thompson didn't seem to be quite effective at unearthing quality receivers I would say yes.

But because of the system the Packers run and Ted being able to find competent and talented wide-outs in the 2nd and 3rd round I say no.

[El Duderino]

I wouldn't and surely Ted wouldn't ever give up draft picks along with having to give big money to a player, i think Thompson's brain would explode by just thinking of having to do those two things together for just one player.

For this reason I would not either. I seemed to remember there being some real big Boldin fans here, though. Maybe I'm thinking of somewhere else.

I would be interested in contacting Arizona about Anquan Boldin even if we felt great about resigning Jennings. Boldin is a football player and is one tough son of a bitch. Yes, please.

[MikeIsGood]

Even if we retained GJ? What would you give up to get him, then, if not Jennings himself?

I simply cannot imagine giving up draft picks given what we have to do with our defense.

I'm leaning towards agreeing with you, but what PROVEN "competent and talented" WR has he found in the 2nd or 3rd rounds besides Jennings? Sure, Nelson and Jones look like they'll be quality WRs in the NFL, but they're not proven, and Jennings is probably a top 10 WR in the league. That can't be overrated.

He wants a new contract, so you'd be giving up picks for the right to give Boldin big cash. Plus, even if Ted felt he couldn't resign Jennings and Boldin was just a free agent so we had to give up nothing in return, would Ted really go after Boldin?

Think of it this way. If Ted won't pay the money it will take to sign a WR like Jennings, what's to think he'd pay Boldin the money he's going to want given TT has shown if he does spend money, it almost for sure will be on our own players.

[Fandom]

Can't really disagree with you; I don't think anyone here really thinks TT would do something as bold as going after a guy like Boldin, but it's fun to think about.

[blueedwards]

I dont see the Packers going after any WR. Even if Driver or GJ was injured for the season. If any weapons we trade for would maybe be the old Tony Gonzalez rumor. But that latest rumor seemed to steep for him. Think last year we offered a third and they wanted a second. So I think this season deal was false. Besides I think MM is high on Lee,Finley,Humphrey. I think only way we would even consider going after Tony would be a two tightend set like how we did it with Jackson and Chewy. But I really dont see the Pack going after a wr like Bolden. Even if Driver or GJ were out for the year. I think Nelson would get the starting nod in GJ spot. With Jones as #3 wr on depth chart.

[MickeyDavis]

Jennings was a great pick in round 2. Jones has shown some flashes but has also been hurt and pouted that he didn't get to play enough last year. He definitely regressed from 2007. Nelson showed a flash or two but we'll see what he does this season. I need to see a lot more out of those two before I can say they can replace GJ.

I'm all for trading GJ if TT decides he's not worth the money he wants. But I'll be very nervous about Driver (34), Jones, Nelson and Ruvell.

[aaprigs311]

I think it'd be foolish to trade Jennings at this point. TT doesn't spend money in free agency in effort to have the financial flexibility to lock up a Jennings/Collins long-term. Not to mention Jennings is our developing quarterbacks favorite target and security blanket. And like MD said DD aint getting any younger. Jones can't stay on the field and I don't think Nelson will ever be a number one receiver despite a solid rookie campaign. Pay GJ, period.
