But what about the ripple effect this deal will have on the rest of the league? We all know that there are plenty of receivers who will see it, pick up the phone and call their agents. They’ll complain that they aren’t being paid market value because they believe, well, that they’re better receivers than Jennings.
To be honest, that’s what players do in the NFL. They always think they’re underpaid, and they always wait for that one example – a player they think can’t compare to them on the field – to use as leverage. Jennings will become that guy for wide receivers throughout the league. He will become the new guy to emulate when it comes to negotiations and contract demands. Jennings, who is only 25 years old, had solid numbers in 2008 (80 receptions, 1,292 yards, nine TDs), but how do they match up with the rest of the guys looking for paydays? Let’s check them out and consider the players who are sure to make some noise with their teams and their agents today.
