Jennings’ new contract will reportedly pay him $27 million — with $16 million of that money being guaranteed. He also has incentives in the contract that could bump it up another $3 million. Prior to this extension, Jennings was due to make less than $600K.

In the last two season, Jennings has been extremely impressive. In 2007, he had 920 yards with 12 touchdowns. In 2008, he finished the season with 1,292 yards and nine touchdowns. The 25-year-old out of Western Michigan has established himself as one of the best wideouts in the NFL.

After missing games in each of his first two seasons, Jennings was able to play all 16 games last season. That note likely allowed the Packers to confidently give him a contract with the thinking that he’ll be the team’s number one wide receiver for the foreseeable future.
