Greg Jennings Free Agent Rumors: New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers, Packers, Ravens, Jaguars Targets To Sign WR?

Greg Jennings remains the top free agent wideout on the market and teams like the New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars could be targets to sign the wide receiver after he was released by the Minnesota Vikings this offseason.

Jennings has met with a number of teams this offseason, including the Miami Dolphins and the Carolina Panthers, but Pro Football Talk reports he has no more trips scheduled. According to the website, Jennings met with the New Orleans Saints last and he has also had interest from the Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens, while a return to Green Bay is unlikely.

Jennings did not visit the Ravens, but they showed interest in him and Michael Crabtree before the former 49ers receiver signed with the Raiders. Jennings could still be a target for the Dolphins, as the Miami Herald reported that he left his visits with the team with the chance to revisit contract talks down the road. The Dolphins are interested in adding some depth at wide receiver in the draft and free agency, as they met with Crabtree and also hosted prospect DeVante Parker for a pre-draft visit. The team offered Crabtree a near-$3 million deal and that could be around what they offer Jennings if talks ever get that far.

The Dolphins traded away Mike Wallace to the Vikings and also got rid of Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson, which could lead the team to add a veteran like Jennings or Hakeem Nicks. According to Nick Underhill of the Baton Rouge Advocate, the Saints and Jennings did not agree to a deal during his visit, but he has no more teams on his list and could be deciding on his future over the next few days. Ian Rapoport at NFL.com writes that Jennings has "leverage" due to the interest from the teams he has visited.

Jennings had a solid season last year with the Vikings, making 59 catches in 742 yards and six touchdowns and over the past two seasons he had 10 touchdowns. Jennings visited with the Jaguars this offseason as well and he could be an option for the team to bring in to mentor their young players. The Ravens have had some luck with veteran wideouts and Jennings could be a fit after the team signed Steve Smith last year.

The Saints traded away Kenny Stills to the Dolphins and Jennings could be an option to help add some depth for Drew Brees. Jennings had his best years with the Packers and after two years with the Vikings he was released during the offseason. The Packers could be a potential option, but it's very unlikely that he will sign back in Green Bay, as they already have Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb signed. The Panthers have Kelvin Benjamin and not much else behind him and that could lead the team to add Jennings as a target for Cam Newton.
