Buccaneers | Tampa Bay signs Tim Jennings Thu Sep 3, 09:38 PM
Free-agent CB Tim Jennings (Bears) has signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team announced Thursday, Sept. 3. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Jennings will be an intriguing slot corner in this secondary, which has Alterraun Verner and Johnathan Banks at corner already. Overall this defense could be sneaky if they get their act together. They have tremendous talent but played terribly last season. Because they are so shaky, it means you cannot trust them as a first team defense and should use them as part of a committee. |

Buccaneers | Tim Jennings leaves without deal Wed Sep 2, 02:41 PM

Buccaneers | Tim Jennings visiting Tampa Tue Sep 1, 10:29 AM
Free-agent CB Tim Jennings (Bears) is visiting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tuesday, Sept. 1.
| Footballguys view: Jennings is going to land somewhere, and potentially quickly. More than anything he'd make a solid slot corner which would fit if Tampa doesn't try to make too much more of him. Tampa has the players to be a very good defense but they are too risky to use as more than a spot start or part of a committee. |

Bears | Tim Jennings released by Chicago Sun Aug 30, 07:15 PM
The Chicago Bears have released CB Tim Jennings Sunday, Aug. 30, according to a source informed of the team's plans.
| Footballguys view: At one point, Jennings was a ballhawking corner making a fearsome cover 2 duo with Charles Tillman. Lovie Smith is gone, the Bears defense has switched to a 3-4 scheme, and Jennings is now looking for work. |

Bears | Tim Jennings tries to practice Sun Jul 27, 11:46 PM
Chicago Bears CB Tim Jennings (quadriceps) was on the field at the start of practice Sunday, July 27, but left early because his leg did not feel right, according to head coach Marc Trestman.
| Footballguys view: If Jennings can't get right soon, first-round pick Kyle Fuller might be breathing down his neck. Jennings flourished in the Bears defense under Lovie Smith, but Fuller might be a better player soon, if he isn't already. IDP league players with cornerback as a required position should monitor Jennings' health and Fuller's development. |

Bears | Tim Jennings could blitz more Mon Jul 21, 02:14 PM
Chicago Bears CB Tim Jennings said he needs to work on his pass-rush moves as he is expecting to blitz more this season from the nickel cornerback position.

Bears | First look at CB arrangement Wed May 28, 10:26 PM
Chicago Bears CBs Tim Jennings and Charles Tillman are working as the starting cornerbacks at organized team activities (OTAs). But when they team goes into nickel defense, CB Kyle Fuller works outside at Jennings' spot, with Jennings moving inside to nickel.
| Footballguys view: Fuller is going to be eased in, but it is clear he is the "future" for at least one cornerback position and the Bears may hang him out on an island a few times to see what happens and if he can bear the load. |
