    The only player the Green Bay Packers would consider tagging among their five unrestricted free agents is receiver Greg Jennings, Mike Vandermause of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. It would cost the Packers in the neighborhood of $10 million to tag Jennings and keep him under contract through the 2013 season.

    Coincidentally, that’s roughly the amount of money the Packers saved on their salary cap by releasing Charles Woodson on Friday.

    But don’t expect the Packers to make a move on Jennings. Indications are the Packers will spend their money in other places, namely to extend the contracts of one or more of the following players: Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews and B.J. Raji.
