Looks like we won’t have Randall Cobb or Clay Matthews next year. I would’ve liked to keep both for the right price, but I guess we couldn’t afford it or didn’t want them.

Both signed with NFC opponents.

Thoughts?

Might add a couple years to his career playing in warm weather. Not sure I buy that. He's still good, just not elite like he once was.

Turf in Dallas might expose Cobb's lack of top end speed. Might also wear on that degenerative ankle condition. Beat of luck to him tho. Great memories.

Todays NFL.
2 contracts if you have talent, then you become a salary cap casualty.

Oh well it is what it is .

Super happy for clay. He's always lived in LA, and he has a 2 week old baby at home. Now he gets to stay home with the little one! I love it.

I find it refreshing that GB is looking more toward being a better team, rather than sticking with with players that can be improved upon. Matthews and Cobb had their glory moments, but more recently their play was not top shelf level. Best of luck to each, but I celebrate their being replaced.

Now, the Jimmy Graham case will be more in the spotlight. Will it motivate him or will he soon warm the bench? The LaFleur system requires blocking TEs and good hands catches. 😎

I am not surprised they both ended up with new teams. I wish them well. Thanks for the memories.

Clay's fumble recovery in SB XLV is one of my favorite Packer moments (And I have seen a few games over the decades.)

Cobb never seemed to live up to the high expectations (rightly or wrongly) fans had for him. Maybe it was his 108 yard kickoff return in his rookie season that helped set the bar so high. I was a pretty amazing run. 2014 was a pretty exciting year. I wish he had 3 more seasons like that. I remember people thinking he was going to run the wildcat offense a few plays every game. I didn't think there was much of a chance for it.

I thought Cobb was good, but no way did I think he should of been paid more than Jordy.

Most assumed LaFleur will go the McVay route (just because McVay is getting the most hype lately) of 3 WRs, a blocking TE and RB.... but LaFleur has spent a lot more time with Shanahan who goes 2 WRs, a receving TE, blocking FB and RB...

And what LaFleur seemed to want to do with the Titans (before his star receving TE got a season ending injury in week 1) was go 2 WRs, 2 TEs (one receving and one blocking) and a power RB.

My thought is that LaFleur is thinking of the same base set-up he had planned for the Titans, in a 2 WR, 2 TE (one of each type) and a power RB. Of course he'll mix it up just like the Falcons, with 3 WRs at times or a blocking FB instead.


I think the big piece that they might be missing and nobody is talking about is the talented power RB, that's normally the starter, and the Packers reportedly did try to sign power RB Mark Ingram.

Also missing is depth a number of areas, especially TE if they are planning on going two TEs more often.
