Great news. It seems like a reasonable amount, given what others are earning. Next up is Randall Cobb.

Randall's injury last year may save us some on his deal but he should command more than Jordy. Michael Rodney of Packer Update wrote on that a few months ago and NFL execs said Cobb would command more on the open market.

Plus, you have Aaron Rodgers saying this from ESPN.com:

Speaking Tuesday on his ESPN 540 radio show Rodgers said Cobb "is probably going to go down as one of the best picks in [Packers general manager] Ted Thompson's career, if not the best."

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."

If 4-yrs & $39M is all “new” money, Nelson has 5-yr, $42.5M deal. $8.5M APY same as Pierre Garcon, less than Victor Cruz ($8.6M)

Add up his cap hits for the next 5 years per the spotrac link...

Do you get anywhere near 39 million or an average of 9.75 million?

I'm not a capologist, but how much of the 39.5 is his signing bonus not shown in the table and how much is up front?

Edit: 11.5 signing bonus these contract numbers do not add up....no clue how this works.

Last year:

56 catches, 872 yards, 8 touchdowns, in 9 games with Rodgers.

The point was for the poster that I was wrong on that and spotrac.com was used as justification. The top line spoke of his extension numbers but ignored the current year and 5 year total as evidenced by the ridiculous numbers shown below the top line numbers that are NOT reflective of the deal in totality.

To be back on topic. I'm pumped about the deal, it looks great for both sides. Hopefully we can get Cobb locked up for somewhere around 7m average.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?
wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.
