I would, of course, like to see Randall Cobb re-signed - he's a good fit in this offense and serves purposes that other receivers on the team do not seem to - that slot/out-of-the-backfield, good-when-the-play-breaks-down stuff.

But I also get that one of the reasons TT & Co. field a playoff team every year (and a serious contender every, oh, about four years) is that they have a pay structure in place that allows them enough flexibility to be successful as the pieces change. If paying Cobb blows up that pay structure, then I can see letting him get his coin elsewhere.

On the other hand, as someone here pointed out, one hopes that Jordy Nelson can see the changing sal cap landscape and would be okay if there was a little more corn on the Cobb than on him.
