Official Randall Cobb FA Thread

[Guiness]

As we talk about Cobb's potential contract, what is Nelson's contract, really?

Advertised as 4yr $39M extension (5yrs $43M total) with $8.25M and $9.25M in the final two years, I wonder if he sees those paydays? Certainly the Packers protected themselves, and can have him for an average of 8.5M/yr for 3 years then cut bait when the base jumps by 3 million.

jordy's contract is insanely team friendly for the first 3 years

he got 14.5 million cash last year

this year he will make less then 2.5 million

in 2016 he'll make 6.5 million

thats insane for a player of his level

what nobody mentions is that jordys contract was an extension, just like the one we talked about with a-rod. it was not a 4 year 39 million dollar contract, it was a 4 year 39 million dollar EXTENTION. meaning it was a 5 year 39 + whatever he was suppose to originally make in 2014 (maybe a 5 year 42.5 million dollar deal, or 8.5 a year). under the 9 being mentioned for cobb
