the question becomes, what does cobb want if jordy wants 10 a year. it was pretty obvious before he got hurt last year that cobb had become a-rods "go-to guy"

can we really afford to pay 2 wr's around 10 a year each with all the young talent we now have at the position?

and if it becomes a one or the other situation, who do you keep? jordy is a great deep threat and a crowd favorite. cobb is younger and more talented (imo), and more exciting (also imo). both great players, both seem like great locker room guys
It is a bit of an embarrassment of riches. Can you pay two guys and a QB all top money? My gut reaction is no.

10M is not really top of the market anymore, Bowe has the 5th highest APY at 11.2M. Nelson might take a (small) step below, but I really don't see him signing for any less than 9.5M or so. Maybe the Pack gets lucky and sign Cobb for less? If so, not by much...and I think Cobb will be less willing to give a discount because he is much less likely to have a long career.
