Next, go with Adams the WR1, move Montgomery to WR3 (the slot receiver) and if BG can get Allen Robinson foe the WR2 then GB will have sweet starting WR core. Cobb can be traded as necessary to get Robinson or in a deal to get an above average CB.

Adams (WR1), Graham(TE), Montgomery(WR3), and Robinson(WR2)

Also as blueleopard said, it sounds like "Robinson is gonna be a Bear."

I wonder if they might think about having Monty as an outside WR (or Cobb as outside WR with Monty in the slot). Or what their plan is for outside WR.


I guess I just don't understand, why Cobb over Nelson?
With Rodgers at QB, Nelson kept getting 1,200+ yard seasons... while Cobb hasn't gotten 830 yards since 2014. Also the Packers lack outside WR depth... and Nelson can play outside WR (he might be a #2, but he can still play it well)... where Cobb is more of a slot guy and they now have Graham and Monty who can also play the slot.

I'll just have to wait and see... I thought Cobb would be released first. I guess I was wrong.

With the money a few mid level WRs have gotten so far (Lee, Richardson, heck even Albert Wilson...WHO? got 8 million a year) I don't think it's that far fetched. Maybe Gute was just waiting for the market to set itself. Offer Cobb a three year extension worth 8-9 million a year with a 4 or 5 million reduction in cap hit this season and I'd be happy with it. I'm not sure Cobb would take it but in that case if I were the Packers I'd keep him around for another year. After seeing what others got his numbers don't seem quite as bad as they did a day ago.

Just sayin'

Nelson's 10 years with the Packers was historically productive. He caught 550 passes to rank third in franchise history. His 7848 yards placed him fifth, his 69 touchdowns ranked only behind legendary Don Hutson and his 25, 100 yard games was third most.

Nelson produced three seasons of at least 1250 yards and 13 touchdowns and in NFL history, only Jerry Rice (6), Randy Moss (5) and Terrell Owens (4) can say that.

If that's true though it sounds like he may be the next out the door when we need a bit more cash

It sounds more like they talked about it, and didn't happen at that time. I wouldn't be shocked to see him get a 3 year extension in the coming months if the Packers need to free up space.

Also with how his numbers have declined the last few years he's at a pretty weak negotiating stand point, so if the Packers are still seeing a quality player in practice worth locking up now wouldn't be the worst time for an affordable extension. Especially if it frees up cap room to sign a CB etc.

Cobb can hit the road if he doesn't want to restructure. I wouldn't blame him anyway. It's time to be new.
