I'm in favor of keeping RC18 and using him in a 3rd down back role. 10 million for that, though? Abbrederis looked every bit as good as Randall Cobb yesterday. Everyone knew Abby knew how to play the position. Can he take the pounding of a season is still the question because he's way too weak.

Not sure what GM would be willing to deal any of the types of TE's we need for Cobb. Plus, as has been noted... TE's are much harder to find in the draft than are WR's.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Also, maybe Martellus Bennett of the Bears? I remember hearing rumbling that Bennett wanted out, and reading that one of the beat writers thought the Bears may prefer to release Bennett then bringing him back for one more year on a $5 million + salary.

Bennett is on the last year of his contract, Graham has two years remaining. Both have good contracts for trading because neither would cost their team much in dead money, Bennett under 2 million, Graham nothing.

As for trading Cobb. It is out of the question. We are a passing team, and need all the passing threats we can get. And Trading Cobb would cost more than keeping him on the team cap wise. Now if we traded a draft pick for a TE depending on the TE I'd be very interested.

Sign Gates and draft O.J. Howard in round 2.

Cobb stays. We need him as he's our best running back.

How in the hell are going to trade a guy with Cobb's contract? Just a futile thread. You either a free agent tight end with the speed to punish a defense or you draft one in the higher rounds.

Trade Cobb, one of our best offensive weapons. Wow, just wow!

It won't happen because:

1 - His contract is large enough that many teams wouldn't take him.

2 - Most teams that would take him don't have a TE that would justify the trade. If they do, they probably won't let him go.

3 - This team doesn't seem to value the TE position as much as we all want to think.

4 - Trade your offensive Swiss Army Knife for a guy that can simply make a few catches and block some? He better be on Gronk's level for that trade.

Wow how fast things change on here, If I get time i will try and dig up the thread on how badly we needed to resign Cobb last season. I was in the minority and said let him walk and use the money on a Julius Thomas and an inside linebacker and people thought i was nuts. But now all of a sudden alot of folks are on the bandwagon for dumping Cobb with his big contract. It's actually laughable.

Oops my bad this is what i said

Offer him the same deal as Jordy if he don't sign then let him walk. Then go after Andre Johnson for a 2 year deal and also Julius Thomas at TE. I think we could get both those players for a combined $10 million a year. Johnson would be a good fit for the young guys to learn from and also be a very good player for the 2 years he is here. It was just a thought where we could sure up 2 spots instead of 1 for the money. Then sign the whale and Tramon and also get an ILB from free agency and we would be just fine.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I say Cobb is too valuable. Everybody talks about how it would be great to have a Sproles type guy. Well duh, that's exactly what Cobb is. Mike just doesn't use him that way very often, because he's afraid the team will score too many points.

Monty is like that too, only more explosive. I hope the broken ankle doesn't slow him down any.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : This might be the kill shot here
