Nelson's 2014 pay is scheduled to be $3.5 million as part of the three-year, $12.6 million contract extension he signed on Sept. 29, 2011. That contract turned out to be a bargain for the Packers, but Nelson ended up leaving money on the table.

"When I signed it, I don't think I did," Nelson said earlier this offseason. "I think everyone, when I signed, thought it was a good deal. No one would have known I'd have 1,200 yards and 15 touchdowns [in 2011]. Obviously, hindsight is 20/20 but, again, I'm not worried about that at all. I've been comfortable with my decision."

Yep, a 3/30 or 4/40 extension to the 1/3.5 he's making this year seems like a fair deal to me. The Rodgers/Nelson combo is one of the best most efficient and productive in the league and Jordy can do whatever we need him to. He can play deep threat, possession guy, catch a short pass and get some YAC, good red zone guy, play in the slot or outside. Definitely worth 10 a year though I would obviously prefer to get away with less. =d>

I was good with letting Jennings walk because I thought Jordy was the better WR but I don't think we have anyone on the team as good as Jordy right now so at that price I don't think you let him go.

I personally think Cobb is more important both because of his versatility and youth, so if Jordy is going for 10, you figure Cobb won't be far off...then you have Bulaga and Boykin you may want to pay.

I know it's pointless to bitch about since it'll happen every year, but I still hate having to watch the Packers choose who they want to let walk, and certainly it'll be at least one of the 3 WRs.

Well, Williams contract is up after this season as well as Rajis. Hawk can be cut a cap hit of 1.3 million ([aiee]). Who knows if Peppers is gonna be around, and if not, they can spread his signing bonus over two seasons at 2.5 million.

Victor Cruz signed with the Giants for 5 years/43 million as their slot guy and I would put him over Cobb. So maybe Cobb falls in the 5-7 million area?
