Randall Cobb and Clay Matthews are two of the longest tenured members of the Packers, but their time in Green Bay could be coming to an end. There's been a drop in production for both in recent years and both are heading into the final year of their contracts. Both have non-guaranteed salaries for 2018, and [...]

Clay's safer, because of the lack of depth. Even if/when Biegel takes over the league, we'll need depth at the position. We've got a ton of scrub WRs.

The only way I see either of them being released/traded (without some legal issue arising or internal issue) is if two of the three rookies show immediate starting ability. I said ability, not potential. Ability as is in you need to get them on the field immediately. Not potential whereas you see they will sometime be a force.

Everyone on the team not named Aaron Rodgers has the potential of being cut or traded including CM3 and Cobb. I doubt it will happen.

I agree. You can’t cut either unless you have replacements that are ready to be “the guy”.
I think CM3 and Cobb are safe for this year, but not next year unless they REALLY show big this year.

I liked this idea in March when we could have used the extra cap space. Now if we cut them we don't see the benefit until next year unless like zero said we have an amazing guy on the team already

A number of guys could beat Cobb out. Not so sure about Matthews.

Davante is a lock.
Name The 4 or 5 wr's who have a chance to beat out Cobb
You want to send Aaron into the season with 2 new TE's and and 4 or 5 inexperienced wr's?

Barring any major injury to Randall, I don't think it will happen.

EDIT
Let's not forget The Packers like to run the no huddle, which requires every receiver to know every position, not just slot.
Also Randall will be lined up in the backfield at times.
Major injury is the only thing that will keep him off the final roster

What you need is, guys who have at least a year of experience. People who know the system, have experience at the pro level. Someone who can contribute 600 yards for less than $10 million per season.

So let's say you got Davante and two rookies. That's three positions. You got two, maybe three more spots. So let's see, Yancey, Trevor Davis, Gmo, Michael Clark. Who am I forgetting?

Odds are only one of the rookies will make the final 53.
Hopefully he will excel on ST's.

The other 2 will be put on the PS to get ready.

These guys will hopefully wow everyone during preseason.

Tell me when is the last time a rookie Packer WR actually made a difference on offense?

Greg Jennings?

Reality bites but it is what it is.

I get it, Matthews has become an average OLB but he's the best average pass rusher we have.
I see little sense in cutting him at this point in time.
Cobb has also become average but I doubt he gets cut at this point in time.
I think some folks are over valuing Montgomery.
