Greg Jennings turned his Green Bay Packer yellow and gold for Purple and the fans of Minnesota are excited. I have two friends that are Vikings fans and they blew up my phone when the Jennings signing was announced, and of course I replied too bad they don’t have anyone to throw to him.
The final factor in Jennings jumping the Favre Leap to the Vikings was of course the mighty dollar.
Greg Jennings' deal: 5 years, $47.5M maximum. $45M base money. And $500K per year in Pro Bowl bonus. $18M guaranteed. $27M over first 3

I really don’t understand some players that for a few extra dollars would rather play for Christian Ponder then someone who has Hall of Fame potential in Aaron Rodgers. Jennings has his money and the Vikings finally have a #1 receiver. For those of you that think Jennings has become injury prone and is over the hill this is what Jennings had to say.
Greg Jennings: "I am not old. I am 29. I won't be 30 until after the league year starts." #ImoldIguess

What do you think? Will this signing hurt the Packers more or help the Vikings more? Either way the Bears secondary will have to deal with him twice a season for the forseeable future!
