Interesting topic to revisit ~8 months later. I know we were instructed to pick just one, however, I am among those who firmly believe (as stated above) the Packers will retain both. Jordy signed I think for five years and $43 million and I could see a four or five year deal for Cobb bringing home around ~$7 million per year.

Randall Cobb embodies the whole "Packer People" thing the administration implies. He's bought into the (brainwashing) Packer Way, he's a good citizen in the community and he's a good team player who puts the team first and equally important is he produces on the football field.

I'd love to get Cobb for as cheap as 7/year, but I don't think that's happening. For whatever reason, Cruz' contract has been thrown around a lot in the past (5 for $43) and if I'm Cobb or his agent, with his production and youth I probably wouldn't take less than what Jordy signed for.

I think he's all that you said about him, but I'd have to think teams would be thinking 10+ per year. Hell, the 'Fins are paying Wallace 12/year.

You are certainly correct that someone could come in an overpay and steal him, but if they were going to do that, why not do it for Jordy Nelson who is more consistent and proven his abilities over a longer period of time?

Cobb is a good Packers WR, other teams will struggle to get the same production out of him.

Check out how cap friendly Nelson's contract is.

Cobb is about 5 years younger, though.

Maybe the college game is preparing WRs better and the transition is becoming easier. I doubt that would sway any GMs into not pursuing Randal but it may help keep interest a little lower.

IMO letting Cobb go would be a HUGE mistake. He and Bulaga would be my top two priorities to resign and I honestly don't expect either of them to hit the market. They will both be resigned before the deadline.
