Randall Cobb most likely left millions on the table by signing the deal he made with us. He is a top 15 receiver in the league and we got him for relatively cheap. I've never heard of any 5 to 6 mil per year deal that was spoken of in this thread. Look at what Mike Wallace makes. Cobb would have gotten more on the open market.

I agree. And he realized that and signed here for less. Proving we got him at a good price.

Hell, provide a SINGLE example of a player extending his contract a year early following an injury shortened season when the player agreed to play for HALF of what he was worth. Or, just stop repeating this nonsensical fantasy.

You said you had sources telling you Ted could have offered Cobb 5mil and Cobb would have signed.

WHO ARE THOSE SOURCES?

What I said was Cobb probably could've been had for a deal of around 5-6 million per after his shortened 2013 season.

I have DOGMATICALLY STATED and will continue doing so that there is NO WAY we would've had to pay him anywhere near 10 million after the 2013 season to extend him. We made the MISTAKE of letting him play out his contract and for doing so we WAYYYYYY overpaid what we should've had we been smart enough to lock him up after 2013 season. Those are undeniable facts. Randall wasn't getting anywhere near 10 million from us after that season. We offered him a joke of a deal because he didn't sign.

Spin it away and restate what I've stated all day all night.

I want you to name those sources.

7 more pages to go!

Every Media sour e I have read have given Ted and The Packers one if the highest if not the highest off season grade of any team.

You obviously have other sources . WHO ARE THEY?

Here is ufdah's entire argument:

If monkeys flew out of my ass Randall Cobb would have signed an early extension for $5M/yr when he was injured.

It is the responsibility of the Packers to make monkeys fly out of my ass

Because the Packers didn't make monkeys fly out of my ass they paid DOUBLE what they would have paid if monkeys flew out of my ass.
