Veteran wide receiver Greg Jennings had plenty of suitors this offseason, visiting the Saints, Panthers and Jaguars before settling on a deal with the Dolphins.
And Jennings credited new Dolphins exec Mike Tannenbaum with the call that brought him there.
Via Ben Goessling of ESPN.com, Jennings expressed some initial concerns about Miami, which Tannenbaum was able to smooth over.
“There were just a few things I had that I wanted to share with him personally, because everybody has a pitch. Everybody has an angle,” Jennings said. “Shoot straight, because I’m going to shoot straight. Every visit, I shared my heart. This is what I’m looking for: I’m looking to be a leader in the locker room. I’m looking to be respected as a man of God, as a football player. Those are the things that are really important to me — and moreso, who I am, not what I can provide. Those were some of the things we cleared up. That’s really Mike and I.”
The 31-year-old wideout signed a two-year, $8 million deal, but where he fits remains to be seen. The Dolphins remade their receiving corps this offseason, bringing in Kenny Stills and first-rounder DeVante Parker to go along with Jarvis Landry and now Jennings.
