    A little perspective: Last year the Packers signed Jared Cook on March 28.

    It's agent talk, Red.

    Guy missed six games with injury. 30 catches, one touchdown.

    A five year deal? He won't be playing after two seasons.

    I'd sign him for a two year deal, he's a physical monster.

    But we have to dick around playing contract games first.

    Cook wanted back in GB...but he really didn't

    He wanted the max money he could get and hoped GB would give him that

    I'm fine moving on given we got somebody with similar talent.

    this whole day makes since if while negotiating with cooks agent, TT gets a call from bennetts agent, saying bennett is looking for a total less then what cooks asking

    talks broke down with cook because they knew they had bennett for cheaper

    Sounds like Cook (agent) fucked this up.

    I agree. He could end up playing with another mediocre QB.

    Looks good Ed.

    Martellus might have something to say about playing it safe though.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    You at least got this correct.

    Your scrotum shriveled up pretty quick there, Rut.

    You willing to man up and admit you were wrong about "when this blows up in Ted's face"?

    Packers apparently offered more years and a higher salary to cook than they did Bennet. Will be interesting to see what he ultimately signs for. I think he fucked up big time.
    Go PACK

    If the Packers offered more than what they paid Bennett...and Cook turned it down...he's probably feeling rather stupid right now. The market for his services just dried up rather quickly when the hungriest team in the market for a TE just signed another guy for less.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

    This is why I like both you and Bretsky, you old drunken ape. I disagree with about 80% of what you guys post, but when Ted does something different than you say he would, you two man up. That's what makes for a real back-and-forth - letting the facts inform opinions.

    And boy oh boy, ol' Jared wanted to come back so he could be the number one TE and play with a great QB in an organization with a shot at a SB. How long is that list of teams now?

    They've already traded for the Colts' Dwayne Allen. Signing Cook would be a lot of money tied up at the TE position.
