Dunno, but it didn't sound to me like Cobb necessarily WANTED to come back. And frankly I can't say I blame him.

Davante won't be a rookie anymore. He should take a step. Richard Rodgers too. Although he's more Mark Bavaro than Jmike Finley.

I could be way off, but I think we'll be lucky to get him for less than an average of 9 mil/year.

Respectfully, I believe you are off, but wouldn't say "way" off though. Reading other WR salaries, I just don't see how a team pays Randall Cobb $9 million a year, UNLESS it is back-loaded similar to how Nelson's contract is. It's easy to pay a player $10 a year over 5 years and still only have a $5 million cap hit in year one and escalate throughout.

I think Packers gave Nelson a 3 year $13 million contract after his rookie contract. I do think Cobb will get something more favorable to his liking. Nelson was the 2 at that time, just as Cobb is now.

Here's what left for Nelson.
Year	 Base Salary	Signing Bonus	Roster Bonus	Workout Bonus	Cap Hit	Dead Cap
2014	$2,000,000	$3,175,000	$500,000	$250,000	$5,925,000	$11,750,000
2015	$1,300,000	$2,300,000	$500,000	$500,000	$4,600,000	$9,200,000
2016	$5,500,000	$2,300,000	$500,000	$500,000	$8,800,000	$6,900,000
2017	$8,250,000	$2,300,000	$500,000	$500,000	$11,550,000	$4,600,000
2018	$9,250,000	$2,300,000	$500,000	$500,000	$12,550,000	$2,300,000

Cobb being 23 (24 in August if you want to give presents) I wouldn't sign anything more than 4 year deal and preferably a 3 year deal. If he proves consistent the next three seasons, he'll be in the middle of his prime and the salary cap will be even higher and he'll be able to really cash in.

Kind of interesting reading over this thread considering how inept the Packers offense is without Jordy Nelson.

Without Jordy Nelson being WR1 Randall Cobb is just another guy, just like someone stated very early in this thread. 😉

These two will be playing out their contracts and then will either resign team friendly deals or find other teams. This team needs to take a shot in the draft to find a real stud WR that has all the intangibles.

Still holding out hope that Nelson and Cobb return to pre-injury form, but that's asking a lot.

Zero2Cool (40m) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (1h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (15h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (15h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you
wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State
beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
