Considering his age and the way he's used in the offense, $9 million will seem like a bargain in a few years. He'll get a contract that looks hefty but will be cap friendly with how it's structured+if signed to a four or five year deal will probably see another cap increase by that point.

Cobb is a known talent that Aaron Rodgers knows. It can take years for that kind of ability between a QB and WR.
Give Cobb the 9mill.
He's worth it and we need him.

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.

Damn. Takes all the suspense out of off season.

Nt,ILB, and TE are probably the 3 positions high on The Packers list.
Gonna have to wait another couple of weeks before we all can see what direction they are going.
We all know Ted likes to throw out a whole lot of misinformation this time of the year.

Obviously we all want an ILB because our play at that position has been dreadful, but what to do with a Maxx Williams on the board, a CB or OT who drops that we didn't think we had a chance at.

If position of need is damn close to grade/value when you pick, then go for need. I think the Packers did that with HaHa. Otherwise, take the best damn player you can get your hands on.

Somehow my "Applaud" function ain't working; Otherwise I'd have applauded several posts in here.

I too think the asking price is fairly reasonable. When Jennings was asking the equivalent of this or more, and when James Jones wanted a mid to high WR range salary, I was with the crowd who said no, let 'em walk. Cobb, however, has more uniqueness, not to mention being younger. A year or so ago, I was not in favor of keeping Cobb long term, as he seemed fragile. But since then, he looks stronger - at least seems to have bulked up - without losing any of his speed and elusiveness.

What Ted needs to do - not just with Cobb, but in a lot of cases - is to make more use of creative financing (see the Z2C post in this thread) - back loading things. In the case of Cobb, though, I would not be afraid to go more than just 5 or 6 years, as barring serious injury, he should still be in his prime at age 29 or 30 - maybe something like 8 years for $72 million with a $12 million bonus, then $3 million the first year and $5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 million. That would be $15 million guaranteed, and with not too bad a cap hit. If he's still going strong at 32, restructure him for the last year or two and beyond; If not, cut him.

I just can't see them letting a talent like Cobb leave. They let James Jones and Jennings walk, but how many decent WR's can you let go before your well finally runs dry? And who knows how many good seasons Rodgers has left? They let a great opportunity slip by this past season, and pretty soon those chances will also run out.
Right now, I don't see another HOF QB waiting in the wings to replace Rodgers when he finally calls it quits.
The time is NOW. Get all your ducks in a row, and grab the brass ring.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Kanata, seek help! lol
beast (27-Dec) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status
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.
packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.
Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore
packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
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
