    I have to agree. It will be disappointing to lose Cobb but IMO protecting The Franchise is a bigger deal. We won't win squat without #12 but we can replace Cobb a little easier.

    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.

    I said Thompson may be stingy or unwilling to pay what a fair market price (for Green Bay) is for Cobb, which I noted as $9M a year. My opinion is that Cobb is being reasonable in his demands of Green Bay. I think Cobb would rather stay in Green Bay if the gap in pay wasn't significant to go elsewhere. I can't prove that...nor can anyone here prove the opposite at this time. We'll find out who is right after the fact.

    I also did not mention that any recent report was erroneous. If anything, I said that the $12M number probably would be what Cobb was asking of a limp dick franchise like Oakland or Jacksonville. I doubt he would leave Green Bay to go somewhere like that for an extra million a year. For all any of us know, the $12M was a leak from the Raiders hoping to get Cobb to free agency.

    You are right, EVERYONE is posturing. That doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on the posturing.





    Cobb is simply posturing.

    This is not an argument for letting him go IMO. This is an argument for signing the man.

    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

    Welker was also lots older than Cobb. So while there's a parallel (regarding HOF QBs throwing to slot WRs), it falls flat soon after.
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    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.

    http://gnb.scout.com/story/1523353-t...O0fhSg.twitter

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

    Would you rather have 4yr/$36m from Green Bay or 4/$44m from Oakland?

    v

    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.

    http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packe...294947891.html

    Interesting comment from McGinn:

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