Packers opt against tagging Greg Jennings
Greg Jennings - WR - Green Bay Packers
March 4, 2013 - 3:35 PM ET

The Packers have decided against franchise tagging Greg Jennings, paving the way for Jennings to test free agency.

This significantly increases the odds Jermichael Finley returns to Green Bay. The Packers briefly considered tagging Jennings, but doing so would have cost nearly $11 million and he's not worth that much money entering his age-30 season. Jennings' likeliest suitors in free agency appear to be the Dolphins and Vikings, although more teams will enter the bidding. We anticipate Jennings receiving significantly less than the $12 million annually he's purportedly seeking.
