Greg Jennings Says He Was Selfish, Hurt

Greg Jennings mistake

Greg Jennings’ departure from the Green Bay Packers was not pretty, but he now openly admits he was selfish because he felt hurt.

After Jennings signed with the Minnesota Vikings back in 2013, he constantly threw shade at the Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The highlight of that nonsense may be when he said the Packers brainwashed their players. Although it was pretty much non-stop diarrhea of the mouth from Jennings that entire summer…

The receiver, who was cut by the Vikings during the offseason and is now a Miami Dolphin, was hosting a golf tournament in Minnesota this week. It was noted that Jennings wasn’t nearly as salty leaving the Vikings as he was when he left the Packers.

That’s when Jennings brought up the fact that he was butt hurt.

“The way I exited Green Bay was very unprofessional,” Jennings said.

“It just was really something I was dealing with myself. I had to recognize that I had a level of pride to where I felt like, ‘Wow, I went through all of this.’ It was almost a sense of entitlement, like, ‘Wow, I dedicated my entire career, and [there’s] no fight, no want [by the Packers to keep me]? It’s almost like you disowned your child. But that’s what I was feeling — and again, selfishly. Bottom line, I was hurt, because I did want to stay. But I wasn’t willingly embracing change at that moment. It’s unfortunate, but I’ve been very apologetic to them personally. I don’t have a lot of things where I wish it wouldn’t have happened. I definitely wish I would have handled that better.”

Few exits from Green Bay come to mind as being as graceless as Jennings’, at least in recent years. Brett Favre, Javon Walker, Mike McKenzie and that’s probably about it.

The difference with those guys is they didn’t go on bad-mouthing the organization after they were gone. Of course, they also demanded to play elsewhere.

Jennings wanted to come back and was met with deafening silence.

That doesn’t make his bullshit any less palatable, though.

At least he knows it.

    It’s pretty rare for a pro athlete to ever say something like this. That’s a pretty genuine mea culpa. I think al the fans wish it went down differently too.

    VaJennings received a HUGE offer from TT, and he turned it down. Once he (and his agent) decided to do that, he should have realized that all bets were off in terms of him re-signing with the Pack. I think that it turned out to be in our favor in the long run anyway, because Jordy/Cobb/Davante is one of the TOP THREEs in the league, and definitely one of the TOP THREEs in Packer history.

      Exactly. Saying the Packers didn’t want him? They offered him around $8 million a year and he turned it down. Then when he was in Minnesota he made some snarky comment about how the offer they made was nowhere near “fair” or enough money. Fuck off flemmings..

    Favre’s exit will never be trumped by any other in the history of sports drama. It still affects some people today. We ended up with crybabies, really mad people, penis photos, purple number 4 jerseys….etc. Nice.

    Jennings’ exit took 1.2 seconds to get over.

    Agree w CO Bob…..
    Keeping in mind rumours that Burt was involved in getting GJ to make the move to Hormeltown….
    The pure, highly publicized disrespect against organization and fans that #4 displayed can never be matched…..

    Not looking forward to #4 retirement spectacle.

    I give CJ credit for admitting he was stoopid….
    Something I doubt we’ll ever get from HeWhoCannotBeNamed….

    It was a beautiful sight to watch Farve and Jennings. It breaks my heart to see how things ended.. They are both elite atheletes
    I just wished they would have set their ego’s aside and done what was best for the team when they were in Greenbay. I will always cherish the memories of watching Farve and his love of the game.. Farve was an inspiration to us all on and off the field .. Good bye # 4 we will miss you. See you in November at your well deserved retirement. I wish Jennings the best in Miami, he has a great pair of hands and has the speed and natural instincts to drive the AFC wild trying to catch him.
    Until then ” Go Pack Go “.
    Respectfully
    William
