With their playoff dreams ruined by the San Francisco 49ers, the Green Bay Packers now head into the offseason, leaving wide receiver Greg Jennings to contemplate his future.

Marred by injuries, the 29-year-old played just eight games during the regular season, finishing with just 36 receptions for 366 yards and four touchdowns. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent and is uncertain about what the Packers will decide to do with him, but he understands the Packers priority is to put the team first.

"At the end of the day, you know the Packers are going to do what's best for the Packers...And that's not going to change whether you're No. 4, No. 80, No. 85, No. 77. That's going to be the case. They're going to do what's best for the Packers and the organization."

As Jennings numbers were on a steady decline this offseason, receiver Randall Cobb emerged as a star for the Packers, and Jordy Nelson also put in several huge games when he was healthy. The Packers will certainly continue to feature the two, making Jennings expendable as of now.

Jennings will undoubtedly draw attention from several teams if he and the Packers decide to part ways, but as of now the main concern is how big of a contract he can seek after missing such a big chunk of the 2012 season.
