What do you guys think? Would you want him if he signs a team-friendly contract?“I left Rick a voicemail,” Jennings told KFAN this morning. “I told [them], I’m waiting on you guys.”
“I miss being [in Minnesota]. You appreciate something more when it’s taken away from you.”

I mean, if he came back for peanuts sure. Hes a decent player and a good teammate but I wouldn't want to pay him a penny over 3 million, if even.

Re: Greg Jennings tells KFAN he wants to come back to Minny
I think it's great that he wants to come back to MN and that he has such positive things to say, but whom would we leave out by having him on board? I'd much rather keep (or draft) that player than have Jennings.720pete wrote:Greg Jennings Wants To Be a Viking Again...Really Badly

As assistant WR coach? Sure.

Re: Greg Jennings tells KFAN he wants to come back to Minny
We can, we SHOULD do better.....he wants back here to be with his family......good for him.....the Vikes NEED a quality veteran who still has speed and good hands. We need a SuperBowl. I don't think he is the answer or a good use of Cap Monies.
Re: Greg Jennings tells KFAN he wants to come back to Minny
I'd take him back at the vet minimum kind of like chad greenway, some veteran leadership and a guy who wants to be here and help out. I'd probably let him know though that he has to earn the roster spot, if he doesn't have anything left.

Re: Greg Jennings tells KFAN he wants to come back to Minny
It would be nice to have him back, he was a class act, just don't see how he would work into our core.

Re: Greg Jennings tells KFAN he wants to come back to Minny
If anything, we could always use another camp body. He could mentor the younger guys. A 1 year, veteran minimum deal doesn't sound bad.

Re: Greg Jennings tells KFAN he wants to come back to Minny
He seemed to have a good relationship with Teddy, and with Patterson's apparent lack of football skills means we are thin at WR. I would be ok with this signing, at the righr price. When did he get released?

Re: Greg Jennings tells KFAN he wants to come back to Minny
Yeah, we are nowhere near set at WR. Our WR core is a question mark at best. We have no #1 WR yet and there's no guarantee that the Vikings will go WR in the 1st round. No is it a guarantee that a WR he draft will pan out. Regardless of what happens, we don't have a leader in that WR core, Jennings will be it. Like Greenway is for our LB core, because I doubt he has much left in the tank himself but everyone wants to see him for one more season. I still think Jennings can contribute to the team, just not at that ridiculous price we gave him the 1st time. He's a system player no doubt. That's why I think Miami was just a bad fit for him, just like Wallace was a bad fit here. But he and Teddy had way more chemistry. All we missed that season was Peterson to run the rock. We never got a chance to see the Teddy, Jennings, and Peterson trio. Add Diggs to the mix and I think we have a decent WR core.

For the right price......sure I'd bite
