I like Randall Cobb, but this felt much more like a

"Hey Randall, we aren't going to be able to keep you at your current salary. If you were willing to play for $3mil we wouldn't have to cut you"

than a

"Hey guys, I feel bad about how bad our cap situation is this year. Would it help if I played for $3mil instead?"

It's pure speculation on how much Rodgers being on the team has to do with this outcome, but hey, it's the offseason - what else do we have to talk about :)

Sometimes, the player actually gets the money sooner than later, but it's perceived to be taking "less" because the salary cap hit is lower for that current year. And Lord knows we can't think beyond 10 seconds so no one cares to look at ensuing years, lol.
