Great news. It seems like a reasonable amount, given what others are earning. Next up is Randall Cobb.

Though this was an interesting nugget.

Randall's injury last year may save us some on his deal but he should command more than Jordy. Michael Rodney of Packer Update wrote on that a few months ago and NFL execs said Cobb would command more on the open market.

Plus, you have Aaron Rodgers saying this from ESPN.com:

Speaking Tuesday on his ESPN 540 radio show Rodgers said Cobb "is probably going to go down as one of the best picks in [Packers general manager] Ted Thompson's career, if not the best."

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

If 4-yrs & $39M is all “new” money, Nelson has 5-yr, $42.5M deal. $8.5M APY same as Pierre Garcon, less than Victor Cruz ($8.6M)

Add up his cap hits for the next 5 years per the spotrac link...

Do you get anywhere near 39 million or an average of 9.75 million?

Edit: 11.5 signing bonus these contract numbers do not add up....no clue how this works.

The point was for the poster that I was wrong on that and spotrac.com was used as justification. The top line spoke of his extension numbers but ignored the current year and 5 year total as evidenced by the ridiculous numbers shown below the top line numbers that are NOT reflective of the deal in totality.

To be back on topic. I'm pumped about the deal, it looks great for both sides. Hopefully we can get Cobb locked up for somewhere around 7m average.
