-- Jennings Linked to Fitzgerald --

ESPN's Len Pasquarelli reports much was made of the wisdom demonstrated by agent Eugene Parker in recently landing Green Bay Packers WR Greg Jennings a three-year, $27 million extension. The rationale was that, given the short term of the deal, Jennings would get back to the negotiating table by age 28, and probably still in his prime. But there is a second reason why Parker was so sage in negotiating just a three-year extension. Arizona star WR Larry Fitzgerald, another Parker client, in 2008 signed a four-year, $40 million contract through 2011. At worst, the Cardinals will have to pony up even more money in 2012 when the wide receiver is a free agent, or redo Fitzgerald's current contract before then because of its structure. That means Jennings, whose contract expires after the 2012 season, will be able to bargain off of Fitzgerald's deal. No one is suggesting that Jennings is a better player than the brilliant Fitzgerald, but he is a bona fide deep threat, has a better per-catch average (16.0 yards versus 14.0 yards) than Fitzgerald and averages a touchdown reception every 7.4 catches. Fitzgerald's average is a score every 9.3 receptions.Sat Jul 18, 2009 --from FFMastermind.com
