"And then [Jones] was."

Vikings Overpay Greg Jennings, Continue Storied Tradition of Scooping Up Ex-Packers

(Jennings) goes from playing with two of the greatest quarterbacks of all time to playing with Christian Ponder and a receiving corps composed of Jarius Wright, Jerome Simpson, a lukewarm Hot Pocket, and a broomstick wearing an Anthony Carter jersey.
