We don't even know what the team will look like next year at this point. They could load up on defense and end up with a top 10 unit for all we know. This team without Cobb but with a top 10 defense most certainly has a legit shot at a Superbowl. We don't know what Adams is going to be next year, he certainly looked as good as any of our other WRs did as rookies. Like I said your opinion does not = fact.

Except that isn't a fact it's just your opinion which is no more valid than anyone elses so quit acting like it is.



I would appear you don't want to have discussion. Nowhere did I portray that what I stated was anything other than my opinion. If you disagreed, and wanting a discussion, you would have replied with something of substance.

It is pretty much accepted, that what people post are opinion. Do we have to start every post with In My Opinion now?

At 9 m a year I vote we let him walk, he is most effective used in the slot(without looking through the numbers, that is my feel from watching the games), and noone should pay 9m a year for a slot receiver.

Another reason to let him walk is that the money is better used elsewhere on the roster, WR talent can replineshed through the draft even though I bet the packers think it is a year too early to trust Davante Adams enough. Aaron, Jordy and Lacy allows us to say no thank you to 9m a year, and spend the money on the keeping the O-line together and prepare the cap for other upcoming free agents.
If Aaron can't keep the Offense competetive with Jordy, Lacy and a decent O-line, then he is no MVP and not worth the money he is getting.

This is one of those cases where I wouldn't mind a longer term deal as Cobb is so young. How about $9M per over a 6 year deal?

I agree with Nerd's comment that in a few years this could look like a bargain contract.

Would you consider using the franchise tag on him and see how year 2 pans out for Adams, Abby and Janis?

The last year of a 6 year deal could put him at risk of being a cap casualty (those last years are ususaly to hang a big salary number up to make the contract look bigger than it really is) If he goes for 5 I think he is still under that magic age of 30 when he comes up again.

As far as franchising him no way. If it looks like its going to come to that throw another 4 million on the deal and sign him. It will cost almost that much anyway.

I just love how so many people (not you based on this post) think that you can plug any old guy into his spot and come away with a stud just because A) Ted drafted him and 😎 Aaron is throwing to him.

1) This team should be pretty good next year.
2) It will be better with Cobb than without him.
3) He is not looking to break the bank.
4) The Packers have the cap space to sign him without risking losing everyone else (ie. could still resign Bulaga)
5) He is young.
6) He is a great talent.

Put these together and it tells me signing him for 9 million a year is a no brainer. I'd even be willing to go a bit more even if he "isn't worth it"

He is worth every penny at 9 million a year. It looks like the packers will be facing Seattle quite often for all the marbles. Cobb is needed in these situations. The pats showed that if you attack the middle you can move the ball against that defense.

Which is why I think we should also consider a draft or FA improvement of our TE situation. R. Rodgers has shown himself to be pretty decent, but our TE situation was not keeping the other teams defensive coordinators up at night I can assure you.

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha
TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : That was terrible.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.
beast (27-Dec) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
beast (27-Dec) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
beast (27-Dec) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
beast (27-Dec) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago
beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
