Vikings agreed to terms with Greg Jennings

Greg Jennings - WR - Vikings

Vikings agreed to terms with Greg Jennings, formerly of the Packers, on a five-year contract.
Minnesota put the full-court press on Jennings on Thursday night by bringing in coach Leslie Frazier and star RE Jared Allen to dinner. It must have worked, and the money must have been right. After trading away Percy Harvin earlier in the week, GM Rick Spielman badly needed to find someone to replace his production. Jennings, 29, can play the slot, but he also isn't limited to it. The way the receiver corps looks now, we'd expect Jennings and Jerome Simpson to play on the outside with Jarius Wright in the slot. Jennings' signing is a good get for Christian Ponder and his development.

I guess all that "the QB matters" talk was b.s.

Another one bites the dust.

Five years @ $9.5M/year for a 29 year old WR? No thanks.

The structure of the deal will be important. This strikes me as a situation where the total value or average per year could make it seem like more than it is, if the Vikings have given themselves an early out with a roster bonus in, say, Year 2 or 3.

The Vikings had a glaring need at WR and addressed it. I admire that.
