I don't think Minnesota really needs Cobb, but what do the cap situations look like in Miami, Oakland, Kansas City and Seattle?

All four teams have former Packers front office personnell as GMs, or a former Packers HC, and I know Seattle lost Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin, so they'll be looking. Raiders are looking to stock the cupboards for David Carr too.

The dolphin and Chiefs are pretty tight and (11 and 6 million) and I don't know what their own FA situation is like. They do need receivers though.

The Browns and Bucs also have a lot of money and a Cobb/Evans combo in Tampa would be scary. The Bengals have 40 million and pairing him up with Green would also give defenses fits.

There are 9 teams with more money than the Packers right now but as has been mentioned a few times there are a lot of WRs out there. None are as good as Cobb (that won't be tagged that is) but none will cost as much either. Lots of options for a team like the Raiders and the Browns. this does bode well for the Packers.

Looking ahead to 2018 though it looks like the Packers will have about 125 million to spend. The bad news is the Raiders will have about 40 million more.

In my opinion Brandon Marshall is a nutjob, a locker room cancer, and one off the field problem after another. Bears ownership wants him gone in the worst way. I wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole.

Marshall was not on the scene and no charges were filed.

March 4-6, 2008: Three incident reports (filed on consecutive days) and one criminal warrant were filed after Watley and Marshall got into a fight at his Atlanta condo. Watley told police Marshall had punched her in the mouth and eye. Marshall told police his hand was also cut on glass during the incident, which included Watley's two younger sisters. Marshall was arrested on March 6 on a misdemeanor battery charge.

May 21, 2008: An Atlanta police officer was dispatched to Marshall's condo to enforce Watley's temporary restraining order while Watley was there removing her belongings.

"I’ve got it." -Aaron Rodgers

Then he gets traded to the Bears for pocket lint and seems to be reformed for a season or two.

Then he gets a big contract extension and this season he melts down again. Screaming at teammates in the locker room, threatening fans on twitter, throwing his supposed BFF Jay Cutler under the bus in a press conference ...

He is a total nutjob. Nothing "borderline" about his personality disorder.

I just now read the post above about the off field problems. I'd STILL take Marshall over anybody else on that list.

Marshall is a bad idea. He's 31 and coming off another injury plagued season. If he were in his prime you might want to risk the personality issues, but as an aging guy coming off injury, no thanks.

I think Adams will fill in nicely and there are a lot of good receivers in the draft. I also see Rodgers making more of an impact at TE so I just don't see investing in Cobb like that. Yes he's a good player but he's had 1 year without injury and despite his versatility he's not the level of weapon that a bigger or faster receiver could be.

Also, despite that we might have to overpay some of the secondary to keep them, I think that's a better investment at this point based on necessity and the weak crop in the draft this year.
