What Janis offers as a WR is only a small consideration. The Packers value special teams play and Janis is one of the best they have to offer. He will most likely make the team on his special teams ability alone just like Jared Bush did for so many seasons. The fact that he can step in as an emergency WR is an added benefit, but he is not being relied upon as a WR by the coaching staff, imo. For whatever reason, he just can't put it together at WR. The only way he will lose his spot is if another WR comes in that can provide equal special teams and receiving ability. That's possible, but seems unlikely.

I heard that Cobb is the 7th highest paid WR in the NFL. I can see them cutting him because of his high price.
I really like the guy, and would hate to see him go. But you know Ted....

Cobb is being paid a lot but I do think he can be a very productive complement to Nelson. the problem is there are only so many balls to go around. Is he worth the high price? Probably not when you look at it from a production standpoint but if you look at the cap hit for the position the rest of the guys are making very little so it may not be quite as bad as it seems. I just don't see Ted moving on. Especially with a 6.5 million dead cap number.

I think Janis is the obvious odd man out. Ted Like his rookie WRs and he likes giving them a chance once he has them so I see him drafting another and I don't see him moving on from Davis or Allison just yet. They deserve at least as much time as Janis has had.

I would rather banish Cobb.
He's far too expensive for what he brings to the table.

We all recall all those former productive WRs who moved to TE later in their careers. All Jordy has to do is put on 35lbs and learn to block DEs and LBs. Should be a smooth transition this off season. I think Larry Fitzgerald is making the same move. Megatron really retired because Detroit wanted to switch him to TE. My goodness.

Janis will leave with a feeling we didn't maximize his talent whether this year or sometime soon.

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."

So the "Comeback Player of the Year" and "NFL Leader in Receiving TDs" clearly doesn't have it anymore and should be moved to an entirely different position? Makes sense...

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : 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
