I believe Cobb is someone who understands the value of a great QB more than most WRs, since he played the position in college. He has witnessed the utter disappearance of Greg Jennings after he left Green Bay. He has witnessed how Donald Driver has made himself an icon in the community by staying with the Packers and not venturing out for the biggest deal available. He has witnessed how a connection to one QB has made Jordy Nelson an elite WR in the game.

The salary cap situation for Green Bay was far different when Jennings went to Minnesota. The cap was flat and we had several franchise players to get signed long term. Today, the cap is starting to swell again from new TV deals and the key players to the franchise are under contract already. The end of Finley's career basically ensured that Cobb will remain a Packer IMO. Thompson is not going to let Cobb walk...and Cobb seems smart enough to grasp his best chance at earning another hefty payday in 4-5 years is to stay with Green Bay.
