Abbrederis...only because of his injury history w/concussions.

Pump the brakes peeps...

Why is everyone assuming Cobb will bring big moneys?

He's had:

443
954
375->

Yard seasons... Hardly productive enough to warrant a big contract.

2 shitty and 1 good-not-great year is not too impressive.

I'd argue he is much more talented than that, but numbers are tangible.

Same thing with his rookie year when he had a big impact as a returner and had to compete for targets against a deep, established receiving group with Jennings, Nelson, Finley, Jones and Driver. How many rookies deliver huge numbers in those circumstances?

Edit:
In 2012, Cobb ranked 10th in yards, 6th in touchdowns and 7th in catches in the NFL in just his second season.

Edit 2:
Not sure if I'm just blind or if something was going on with pro football reference because when I went back I saw that Cobb was 17th in catches (14th amongst receivers), 24th in yards (22nd amongst receiver) and 16th in TDs (13th amongst receivers). Still, arguably a top 15-20 season for receivers in his second season was a breakout and he continued that into year 3 until he got hurt.

You've missed the mark.

But we have seen what he can do on the field.

There is another aspect in that the Packers tend to be pretty deep at WR and we are not going to have a league leader in targets. Because Rodgers spreads the ball around too much. But what we will have a leader in is catches per target and yards per catch. Cobb is right up near the top.

Cobb has over 1,000 yards over his last 16 games. The production is there just a freak broken leg held him back. I wouldn't be surprised to see him land a deal for around 6-7m average but it's still quite a bit of money to sign both him and Jordy and Jordy is clearly our #1 wr so it seems he's likely to be the priority. Boykins contract runs out after next year as well but he can still be tendered as RFA cheaper for an extra season so I see him sticking.

I still say Cobb is the first to go - after this season - a lot of other teams maybe valuing him more highly than the Packers. It seems to me that Cobb has declined just slightly rather than improving since his first year. He just doesn't seem to have the zip he had, even though he shouldn't be losing it with age, and a broken leg usually doesn't bring lingering effects like knee injuries. For some reason, though, he just doesn't seem as fast. I also think Cobb is a little bit fragile. I have been trying to figure the reason why Ted drafted three WRs - when we easily could have just gone with what we had; I think the probable NOT re-signing of Cobb is a major reason.

I'm not sure who it will be, but I'm a little surprised Cobb is such a popular pick. I view him as a future superstar; the kind of player we don't let go of for a long time. I think we'd be more likely to let Nelson walk than Cobb. That being said, I view Cobb, Nelson, and Boykin as the top 3 receivers this season, so I guess I'll pick a rookie to be gone first.

My vote is Abbrederis. I believe the depth we have at Receiver will make it tough for him to get a roster spot, and since the Practice Squad players are free agents, I pick Abbrederis to be "gone from the Packers" first out of the 5 in question. Hooray for technicalities!
