    I'm going with the 6-9, but the high end of that. I think about 9 is right. Rodgers has a way of making his WR's look better than they are. Can you imagine Adams playing with Winston or Flacco? I don't think the 8 inches of separation he gets would be enough. He has come on. He is good. He isn't Jordy good and he isn't a top 20 WR.

    I went 6-9. I read his catch rate is 57% .add that to the Rodgers effect and I don't see him as elite.

    But some WR needy team will offer him big money to lure him away so if we wanna keep him we have to offer more than 6-9.

    I’m with you, he’s pretty good, he’s not elite.

    The question was "fair market value", not what we should pay for him. Somebody will be willing to pay $9-13 million for him. We probably shouldn't. Whatever Adams is, he is because of Aaron Rodgers being so damn good. He isn't a Julio Jones or A.J. Green who are so good that they make the QB seem better than he is. It's the other way around.

    As for restocking WRs, we have untapped resources at that position right now, and it seems like it isn't all that hard at all to pick up players who will be quality players with Aaron Rodgers throwing to them. Now if we could get a superstar - Julio or A.J. or whoever quality, go for it - but determining that in advance of the draft seems unlikely.

    the problem is that we set the bar for wr's that were pretty good but not great two years ago when we gave cobb 10 million a year

    Interesting chat with Davante Adams today. Used 'when,' not 'if,' when mentioning Rodgers' comeback: "It's about making sure we put ourselves in a position where, when 12 is back, he’s back for a reason."

    He sticks up for himself, but doesn't complain about being treated unfairly. He believes in himself and is willing to ask QBs to put it on him. And he occasionally lets something go that gives a clear picture of what the players are actually thinking.

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    with the Packers familiarity breeds contract.

    Packers prob slightly overpay him, and then Cobb either signs a team friendly contract or is gone.

    Are you sure? I mean, I've only been to 2 of them, and it was never made clear.

    I like him as well, but james jones led the NFL in TDs with Rodgers throwing him the ball.
