The cap number is not determinative in FA for contract prices, but it definitely is determinative for setting the level of guarantees you can expect to negotiate for if a franchise tag is in the offing.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Arent we 33 Million below the cap? Even with resigning guys we have a TON of cash for a top ILB, Slot WR, TE and NT.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

florio thinks the packers should let him walk
he thinks he'll go to the raiders. you'd think after signing james jones last year that they would figure out by now that a-rod makes his wr's better, not the other way around
you think NE fans wanted to see welker get away? I'm sure they were lamenting edleman and what's his face, but in the end welker is probably done and NE has a SB trophy. Love Cobb, but WR, especially slots are a dime a dozen......abbawhatever can play in the slot and the other 2 will just get better.....
If a team wants to pay Cobb $12M then he's gone and I wouldn't want him at that amount. I'm still holding out hope they can get something around $9M. The thought of going into the season with Adams/Janis/Abbrederis as the #2-4 WR has me terrified.
Go PACK
Perhaps there's someone who will keep Randall from leaving Green Bay.
COME ON!!!!
can't we find a hot white chick with bigger tits to help keep our athletes in town?
no wonder why so many of our free agents are leaving town
yeah
we make her the packers yoga instructor, and we never lose a black free agent again
Bill Huber at Packer Report says he has a source confirming that the Raiders are considering an offer to Cobb for $11 million per year. No other details.

The word consider in his article is doing a lot of work.
But Packer Report has learned that at least one team is prepared to offer him $11 million per season.
According to a league source, the Oakland Raiders — led by former Packers director of player personnel Reggie McKenzie — are considering offering Cobb a blockbuster deal.

Would you rather have 4yr/$36m from Green Bay or 4/$44m from Oakland?
California State Income Tax, Alameda County Income Tax, Oakland City Income Tax

Wisconsin State Income Tax, Brown County Income Tax, Green Bay City Income Tax
Anyone want to slide on the gumshoes here?
According to McGinn, the Packers have been trying to get Cobb signed for the last 6 months, and have offered 5 years averaging $8-9 million.

Interesting comment from McGinn:
Cobb spends an inordinate amount of time in the Packers' training room receiving treatment just like he did at Kentucky.
