He chose to stay with the team that drafted him. He chose to stay with the best QB in football, 2 time MVP Aaron Rodgers. The two combined for the best QB to WR rating in the league last year. 134.3. Which is, you know, insane. He chose to stay with a team that has one of the best 2 or 3 shots to get to Super Bowl 50. He chose to stay with the TEAM.

It sounds like Cobb could have gotten more money elsewhere, say, from the Oakland Raiders, Jacksonville Jaguars or Houston Texans -- all of whom were supposedly interested and might have talked to Cobb's agent, Jimmy Sexton, when the free-agency negotiating window opened on Saturday afternoon.

Earlier on Saturday, I asked a prominent NFL personnel man this question: If Cobb signs with a team like the Raiders, isn't that basically saying he cares more about the money than winning?

His answer was this: "It's always about the money."

And it would have been hard to begrudge Cobb for maximizing his earnings potential.

After all, NFL careers are short.

Randall Cobb's return to Packers shows winning matters 

I was very concerned that this team's propensity for shitting themselves was going to push him away.
