Free agent wide receiver Greg Jennings played under Miami
Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin when they were both members of the Green Bay
Packers. Despite this connection, Philbin reportedly “isn’t a huge fan” of
Jennings as a player, according to Bob McGinn of The Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel, and the Dolphins aren’t expected to pursue the wide receiver.

Things can always change, but I've been told that #Dolphins' Joe Philbin isn't a huge fan of Greg Jennings as a player. Needs a WR but ...

Rather than pursue Jennings, the Dolphins are viewed as more
likely to target Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace. Philbin was
also tied to former Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn last offseason, who
ultimately ended up signing with the Seattle Seahawks.
Jennings is believed to be seeking an unrealistic $13 to $14
million annually in his next contract. Without the Dolphins in the running, the
veteran may have to settle for something more in the range of $7 to $9 million
per season, according to Chris Wesseling of NFL.com.
There is also a chance the Packers use their franchise tag on Jennings, though some are skeptical of the reality of this possibility.
