Then let him go.

When you already have the best QB in the league, not me.

One thing of which we can all be certain is that Ted will have affixed a value to Cobb, from which he will not acquiesce.

Had to give you applaud just for using the word acquiesce.👍

Actually, I think Cobb has some real bargaining power. Adams isn't there yet, and we still don't have the elite athletic tight end. The guys we have at tight end are adequate, but not good enough to think they can steal some of Cobb's production to be arrogant enough to let him walk. Our young receivers provide a large drop-off in ability that Cobb has shown.

How much money do we have to use before the end of the year?

I'm warming up to the idea of re-signing him. Somebody said sign him for Jordy Nelson-type money. I would say that as a top limit. One thing I have noticed about Cobb this year: he seems a little bit bulked up. I'm thinking/hoping this makes him less flimsy, more able to avoid injury. Obviously, any receiver with the Packers performs better than others around the league because of Aaron Rodgers. If Cobb recognizes and appreciates that fact more than Jennings and Jones, we should and will keep him.

A word about Boykin: I think he can count; I think he expects Cobb to be re-signed; I think he knows Abbrederis should come back strong and Janis will progress; Of course, he could sign with somebody else, as I think he, too, is a free agent. However, if he hopes to stay with the Packers, I think he is taking his cue from the other Jarrett - Bush, and trying to make himself really valuable on special teams. That might be the only way he would stay as a 6th receiver.

Cap room shouldn't be an issue — the Packers have about $8.2 million remaining this year, according to the NFL Players Association. Based off next year's projections they probably will have $30 million in cap room with a free-agent list that includes Tramon Williams, B.J. Raji, Bryan Bulaga and Letroy Guion.
