After shipping Mike Wallace off to Minnesota, the Miami Dolphins have signed Greg Jennings to a two-year contract worth $8 million. Which essentially means Mike Wallace and Greg Jennings were inadvertently traded for each other via wonky means.
The Dolphins have been anything but quiet this off-season, acquiring the likes of star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, tight end Jordan Cameron and trading for New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kenny Stills. As a whole, Miami has improved tremendously and should be viewed as the biggest threat to the New England Patriots in the AFC East.
As far as Greg Jennings is concerned, you can look at this move one of two ways. First, is the more obvious analysis that the Dolphins simply needed a veteran leader amongst their pass catchers and Greg Jennings fit that role perfectly. Having played with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay and holding his own with below average to average QB play in Minnesota (where he saw the likes of Matt Cassel and Teddy Bridgewater), Jennings has enough experience to help lead a locker room full of young aspiring talent.
The second, slightly more troublesome takeaway from this signing, is that it could create some clutter in terms of Quarterback Ryan Tannehill's passing options. Between emerging sophomore wideout Jarvis Landry, Kenny Stills, Jordan Cameron and now Greg Jennings, it's possible this could turn out to be a "too many mouths to feed" situation.
Granted, no one expects Jennings to return to his old Packer self in 2015, it's still something to keep in mind when you consider the fantasy implications. Overall, Landry, Stills, and Cameron should be just fine and shouldn't be losing any value. The signing of Jennings will have more real-life impact on the Miami Dolphins than it will for those who own their players in fantasy.
