From among these five:

Nelson, Cobb, Boykin, Adams, Abbrederis

My answer is Cobb - but not this coming season.

I think it is Cobb as well. From Jordy's comments a few weeks back it appears he may be willing to sign a hometown deal to keep him a Packer. With so few spots I feel there is a pretty good chance that at least 1 of the new faces will show they have the skills to fill the hole should one of the top guys leave. The question then becomes why do you have $15-20M locked up in two WRs when the young guys look like they can handle the load far cheaper?

My only concern with letting Cobb go is he is so young compared to Nelson. I do see Cobb getting lots of interest in Free Agency just because of the age factor where you can try and manipulate the cap over a longer amount of time knowing the skill set will still be there.

I'll go with Abbrederis just because he is the only one who could possibly be trimmed during roster cutdown.

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."

I was thinking he would be kept as a return guy? If not him I guess we roll with Hyde?

Cobb, I don't think he's going to get a new contract.

I believe both Cobb and Nelson get extended. Out of that list I say Boykin.

I am not sure how they will work things out in contract negotiations but I would think keeping any of them would depend on what they bring that the others don't. I think Nelson brings big play ability and smarts, Cobb has his speed and elusiveness. I think Adams and Boykin are kind of the same but Adams has the higher upside. If Adams look to be picking things up as well as Boykin did last year, Boykin is going to be in trouble before next season.

Jordy has size and he can get deep. Plus he's a white dude who comes across as a blue collar "lunch box" type "try hard" player who says all the right things. GB fans cream their pants over guys like him. Kuhn for example, and Aaron Kampman was very popular.

Cobb is undersized, but he's like a spider the way he cuts and changes directions. Great acceleration too. Extreme short space quickness.

Boykin is a big guy, with good hands. Kind of a possession type dude, although he's shown he can get deep. Janis has the same size, but much better measurables. But Boykin has a year of experience. It will be a battle.

Abbrederis has that great kick return ability, but he needs to hit the weight room. We need a returner, so he's got an edge there. If he can add some muscle, it might help prevent future concussions. Problem is, ST puts you at huge risk for that sort of thing. He can make the team as the PR, then develop enough to get off ST. That might be a wise career move for him, in addition to adding some bulk.

Kevin Dorsey is another dude who I thought had a ton of potential, but this dude doesn't get another year on the bench. Time to put up or shut up for old KDorse.

Janis is a big guy with great measurables. This year's "Charles Johnson," without (I hope) the bum knee. Doubt he'd survive on the PS, so we'd have to stash him on IR if he doesn't make the team. But he is a developmental guy. Will take a year or three to develop. It'll be interesting to see what we've got with him.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
