    But that's not really what TT did. He signed Jennings, Jones, and Finley to deals after their rookie contracts were up. Cobb leaving now would break that mold. Draft & develop. Cobb is hitting his prime, not the TT way to let him walk now. He'll get the deal done.

    With the changes that we're now seeing in regards to offense and coaching /play calling. I'll be surprized if TT lets either leave Green Bay. As you posted TT is a draft and develop GM. Both of these players are TT success stories when he's had plenty of failures.

    It's time for Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews to help out.To consider what restructuring their contracts will do to keep the Packers strong and to remain in the conversation for a Super Bowl. Take away Randall Cobb or in that case disagree with a representative Packer Nation Poll and you certainly hurt the Packer 'O'.

    Ted Thompson and the Packer Powers should be looking at their quality QB and a five year window. Both of these Packers want to stay in Green Bay. Don't allow Randall Cobb to get away.

    Here's the good news Packerrats.

    Ted Thompson will find a way to sign Randall Cobb unless his price tag goes through the roof exceeding Packer CAP responsibility. Tick tock....the time is soon at hand and Free Agency 30 days away.

    Right now I'm not so sure that Ted Thompson will sign Randall Cobb.

    you sign both....but due to health, age, and his upside I think you need to keep Cobb
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    I don't think age is a consideration at all. Bulaga (March 21, 1989) is only 17 months older than Cobb (August 22, 1990). Both are very young for hitting free agency

    Would it be fair to say WR's have a longer lifeline in the NFL ?

    Lifespan? I'd say that after QBs, OL have the longest career length. They don't have to worry about losing a step, and it's easier to maintain your strength as you get older. Veteran tricks are useful on the line, not so much in a footrace.

    I don't think they do. A lot of older lineman. Not nearly as many old WRs.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
