"If Cobb is not resigned by the 10th, he will not be returning to the Packers."

What do you think about this?


I feel the negotiations have already been finalized. I feel there is a contract already agreed upon. I feel the length and dollar value of the contract Saxton, his agent, negotiated is too high of an investment for Ted. Or Jacksonville who will want Cobb way more than the Packers.

This is not a worry for Packer Fans.. Ted can find, pick, and cultivate another W.R. to replace Cobb. Has there ever been a G.M. in the history of the NFL that was better in picking wide outs? The answer is no. You know that, even if you hate the man.

Mark my words typed here, 12: 39 AM P.S.T.

Next season...

Cobb will growl as he storms the country,
A villain big and bold.
And the trees all shake and quiver and quake,
As he robs them of their gold.

Never mind as it looks jennings and jones actually put up better numbers with their new team than the last season with the Pack.

I'd want to protect my future and my bank account. As a player, you have to have the mindset that no matter where you go that you can help make them a contender.

I think this is McGinn spit-balling because it makes absolutely no sense for Cobb to sign a five year deal, none at all. Cobb is 24 years old and the salary cap is going to continue to increase. Cobb's best bet is to ink a 3 or 4 year deal and then go to the highest bidder at age 27/28.

This is only Cobb's 2nd contract and the 2nd one propels you into a large 3rd contract historically.

Of course these are opinions based on the knowledge that I will NEVER have to make good on them.

Consider how much money you will make in your lifetime including wise investments and all that sort of stuff. Now ask yourself if you feel your future is protected. Now add several million to that number (I assume you are not already making multi-million dollars per year but I could be wrong) If you feel you are protected now and increase of several million would only be gravy.

Now take a situation where you are set to make 10 million dollars guaranteed (minimum I'd say) as opposed to lets say 5 million more. I can think of lots of reasons for me to be satisfied with that 10 million dollars as opposed to 15 million.

I do agree with the part about believing you can help make them a contender and sometimes that is a huge motivator as well, maybe even more than money to some people. Go to where you can be the #1 guy as opposed to playing 2nd or even 3rd fiddle.

There are more important things than money to some people. Not to you apparently but that's OK.
