According to Mike Garafolo of USA Today Sports, Canty is set to visit the Packers and Jaguars after the NFL Scouting Combine. It’s not a surprise that Canty is drawing so much attention.

According to Tom Pelissero of 1500ESPN.com, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings is looking to make $14 million per season.
I can’t imagine any team giving Jennings that kind of money. He’s simply not worth it. He’s been injured too much over the past couple of seasons and he’s benefited from a great system in Green Bay.
I could see a team overpaying and giving...

Jermichael Finley
Jason Wilde of ESPN Milwaukee writes that it’s “almost impossible” to imagine the Packers releasing TE Jermichael Finley after listening to head coach Mike McCarthy at yesterday’s Combine presser.

Tom Pelissero of ESPN “heard” that Packers impending free agent WR Greg Jennings could be seeking a contract that would pay him as much as $14 million per year.
Lot of opinions here about what top receiver UFAs may command. Heard Greg Jennings wants $14M/year. Tough to see that happening.

Tight end Ryan Taylor has played almost exclusively on special teams
The Packers’ roster is filled with stars, but there are just as many little-known backups whose dreams are a lot bigger than their current roles. I’ll be focusing on those players in this new weekly feature.
