I'm in favor of keeping RC18 and using him in a 3rd down back role. 10 million for that, though? Abbrederis looked every bit as good as Randall Cobb yesterday. Everyone knew Abby knew how to play the position. Can he take the pounding of a season is still the question because he's way too weak.

Not sure what GM would be willing to deal any of the types of TE's we need for Cobb. Plus, as has been noted... TE's are much harder to find in the draft than are WR's.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Also, maybe Martellus Bennett of the Bears? I remember hearing rumbling that Bennett wanted out, and reading that one of the beat writers thought the Bears may prefer to release Bennett then bringing him back for one more year on a $5 million + salary.

Bennett is on the last year of his contract, Graham has two years remaining. Both have good contracts for trading because neither would cost their team much in dead money, Bennett under 2 million, Graham nothing.

As for trading Cobb. It is out of the question. We are a passing team, and need all the passing threats we can get. And Trading Cobb would cost more than keeping him on the team cap wise. Now if we traded a draft pick for a TE depending on the TE I'd be very interested.

Sign Gates and draft O.J. Howard in round 2.

Cobb stays. We need him as he's our best running back.

How in the hell are going to trade a guy with Cobb's contract? Just a futile thread. You either a free agent tight end with the speed to punish a defense or you draft one in the higher rounds.

Trade Cobb, one of our best offensive weapons. Wow, just wow!

It won't happen because:

1 - His contract is large enough that many teams wouldn't take him.

2 - Most teams that would take him don't have a TE that would justify the trade. If they do, they probably won't let him go.

3 - This team doesn't seem to value the TE position as much as we all want to think.

4 - Trade your offensive Swiss Army Knife for a guy that can simply make a few catches and block some? He better be on Gronk's level for that trade.

Wow how fast things change on here, If I get time i will try and dig up the thread on how badly we needed to resign Cobb last season. I was in the minority and said let him walk and use the money on a Julius Thomas and an inside linebacker and people thought i was nuts. But now all of a sudden alot of folks are on the bandwagon for dumping Cobb with his big contract. It's actually laughable.

Oops my bad this is what i said

Offer him the same deal as Jordy if he don't sign then let him walk. Then go after Andre Johnson for a 2 year deal and also Julius Thomas at TE. I think we could get both those players for a combined $10 million a year. Johnson would be a good fit for the young guys to learn from and also be a very good player for the 2 years he is here. It was just a thought where we could sure up 2 spots instead of 1 for the money. Then sign the whale and Tramon and also get an ILB from free agency and we would be just fine.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I say Cobb is too valuable. Everybody talks about how it would be great to have a Sproles type guy. Well duh, that's exactly what Cobb is. Mike just doesn't use him that way very often, because he's afraid the team will score too many points.

Monty is like that too, only more explosive. I hope the broken ankle doesn't slow him down any.

Martha Careful (23h) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
