    I'd identify one you want to sign more and use some classic TT skills to front load the first deal.

    Brandon seems to be pretty spot on with his contract analysis.....but for some reason I see both Jordy and Cobb making more than his predictions. I do hope he's right though.

    So if they both cost in the neighborhood of ...let's say...7.5 MIL..........can you allocate 20MIL to AROD and 15 MIL to your top 2 WR's ??????

      Jordy Nelson is in a level above Decker talent wise, isn't he ??

        He is in my book. I'd put Jordy at the very top of the tier right below just a handful of the sexier guys like CJ, Green, Jones, Bryant... I'm sure I missed a guy or two but I think Jordy is very underrated. He's at the top of his game. Some of the sideline grabs he makes while keeping his feet in are nothing short of amazing. Most of the sexy guys don't make those consistently. The Packers just get him the ball and dare DB's to take him down inside the 10. They end up on their back watching him score. His only problem is he's not 25. You could say that Jordy's better on the Packers than other teams due to his system proficiency and chemistry with Rodgers, but I'd say he's way better than guys like Decker.

          recent history has shown that TT is not going to spend money on wr's

          after seeing TT draft 3 wr's this year, it would not surprise me one bit to see one if not both nelson and cobb be allowed to walk after this season

            Your point about TT and WRs is valid; hard to believe he'd let both walk tho.

                  He lets WRs reaching 30 walk, when was the last time he let a 24 year old starter walk coming off their rookie contract? Never

                    didn't he let jones walk after his rookie deal? only for him to get no other offers and comeback?

                    cobb is better then jones was back then, but we really don't have a lot of other examples of young WR's that he will have to give huge contracts to

                    if my memory serves me right, jordy and jennings both signed pretty modest deals after their rookie contracts, i'm not sure cobb could be had for a modest deal

                    plus, like i said before. drafting 3 decent prospects this year to go with miles white, plus his willingness to let guys like jennings and jones walk, kinda makes it look like TT is ready to go with the revolving door option at WR

                    when driver got old did we miss a beat on offense? no

                    when jennings left,did the offense get worse? no

                    when cobb was lost for the year did the offense turn to shit? no

                    TT could be looking at things like all he needs to do is get guys that can catch the ball, and his stud QB will do all the rest

                      jones wasn't a starter

                        Right. Cobb is here. Plus, he's the only guy like him that we have. Nelson is probably with us too. He wants to be here and will be reasonable during negotiations, Especially in light of Jennings and Raji having their greed blow up in their collective faces.

                        I wouldn't be surprised if Jordy extends in tc, 3 years 30mil on top of the one year he has for peanuts. Cobb probably 4 years, 32 mil on top of his smaller last year.

                        I would expect Nelson to have more guaranteed.

                            when driver got old did we miss a beat on offense? no Because he had Jennings, Nelson, Jones, Cobb, and Finley on the team

                            when jennings left,did the offense get worse? no Because we had Nelson, Cobb, Jones, Boykin, and a improved running game with Lacy

                            when cobb was lost for the year did the offense turn to shit? no Because we still had 3 WRs in Nelson, Jones, and Boykin with an improved running game

                            Letting Jones test the FA market was completely different because we were loaded at WR during that time. It would make no sense for TT to go into the season next year with Davante Adams as our #1, Boykin as our #2, and Abby as our #3 wide out.

                              Yea but we still had Jennings, Nelson, Driver, Finley, and had just drafted Cobb...completely different situation.

                                i guess it all depends on how the rookies look. but i can see a situation where its adams, boykins, abby, and janis as our top 4 wr's with next years rookie being #5 next year

                                why tie up good big money at WR when TT is basically a WR drafting machine? i mean has he really missed on a WR yet?

                                TT + arod= WR factory

                                and its boykins, i called him miles white in that previous post, my bad
