Dolphins' Greg Jennings: 'The way I exited Green Bay was very unprofessional'

Greg Jennings led the Minnesota Vikings in every major receiving category a year ago, but the two parties couldn't reach a new deal for the 2015 season.

Jennings inked a two-year, $8-million contract with the Miami Dolphins, and took a subtle jab at his former club, saying that he's "into winning."

In a contemplative mood Monday, Jennings compared the similarities between how he left the Green Bay Packers, when he scrutinized Aaron Rodgers and the organization, to his departure from the Vikings.

"The way I exited Green Bay was very unprofessional," Jennings told ESPN's Ben Goessling. "But I don't feel any of that here. I felt more of a disrespect from Green Bay, honestly. It was more dealing with myself - it was, 'Man, I really wanted to stay in Green Bay.' I really wanted to stay here (in Minnesota), but I've grown so much in my faith, to where I recognize where God is moving and making change."

Jennings was an integral part of the Packers' Super Bowl victory in 2010 and provided the Vikings with veteran leadership, taking on a vocal role after superstar running back Adrian Peterson was suspended for the majority of the 2014 season. In his second and final season with the club, Jennings caught 59 passes for 742 yards and six touchdowns.

Although he plans to be an active part of the Minnesotan community, Jennings realized he was forced to make the best decision for himself in joining the upstart Dolphins.

"A lot of times, they look at where you are and say, 'I don't know if I'm going to support him, because I don't know if he's really here,'" Jennings said. "But for us, it was important for my wife and I to project the message that, 'This is home.' We want the community to embrace us, not for being a Vikings player, but for being Greg and Nicole Jennings."
