    sounds like cobbs agent told the packers he wanted 10 a year, and the packers countered with the 8-9 million a year figure we heard, so cobb is hitting the market where the raiders have announced (through an unnamed sourse inside the organization because that would be tampering if someone with a name said it) they'll give him between 11 and 12 million a year

    it seems like the hometown discount was for about 10 million a year. waaay too much IMO. the packers offer was right where it should have been IMO

    I think I'd pay that if that's true. Sign Cobb at 4/40, $20 mil guaranteed. Bulaga 3/27 $15 guaranteed. Tramon 3/15. Probably gotta give him $10 mil to sign. He'd be overpaid by the end of that deal but he'd make a decent dime/contingency CB at some point if/when he loses a step.

    That might not get Tramon signed but I'd rather do that than pay House 3/$21.

    Draft a couple inside linebackers, a corner or two, an OLB or two, maybe a fast slot receiver, TE and have at it. That's $25 mil if you stretch out the signing bonuses and still leaves $8 mil in the rollover fund.

    LOVE YOUR PLAN Vince

    Remember when Cobb was our 5th passing option on offense ? Now he's 1B
    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 wish we knew what Ted offered Cobb. $10m per isn't bad but if Cobb's agent knows he can get $11.5+ from a team like Oakland or Jax we can live with him leaving. That would take Cobb out of the NFC and onto a team that isn't going anywhere any time soon.

    How much is guaranteed in your scheme? Twill is seconds from being done forever. Why blow 10 mil on a signing bonus for him, when you can apply that to House. Assuming (and it's a reasonably big assumption) that House will play at the top level he showed last year.
