It seemed like a foregone conclusion the Green Bay Packers would re-sign receiver Randall Cobb until we started to ponder the numbers. Now, not so much.
Randall Cobb’s Price Tag is Going to Be Huge
" the floor for Cobb is likely $7 million annually. The ceiling is certainly a good deal higher.
That’s great Randall and awful for the Packers.
Before the season, we anticipated Cobb would get a deal around $5-6 million annually. Then an extension didn’t get done and he went out and had a career year. The Packers now have absolutely no leverage.
The only thing they have is this question. How much can we afford to invest in two receivers? "

Projected CAP Room: 2015 - $23,722,642
Randall Cobb showed the NFL who he is in 2014. I'm starting to get used to the Green Bay Packers not signing Randall Cobb.
Look at his age and the whole package he offers an NFL team.
I hoped Ted Thompson would get Randall Cobb wrapped up. I know TT loves to play the waiting game.

Where would the Packers offense have been without Randall Cobb at seasons end? Jordy Nelson wasn't the positive factor that Randall Cobb was.
He's one of the best receivers in a stacked free agency WR class period. It won't be cheap for Green Bay to bring him back. The Packers will carry over approx.$7.8 M$ in unused cap space that might be uses to secure Randall Cobb. Hopefully TT says goodbye to AJ Hawk and Brad Jones, that he doesn't allow BJ Raji's agent to hood wink him. Ted Thompson also has to restructure Tramon Williams and do the same with Julius Peppers. Both have personal claims it should be otherwise.
Randall Cobb could easily move to the top of the FA WR class if Dallas secures Dez Bryant. Imagine the Cowboys absent Bryant? Would Philly allow Jeremy Macklin to get away?
He's five years younger than Jordy Nelson and there are now predictions that he'll receive more than the 5-year $43 million price tag for Jordy Nelson.
Will Ted Thompson allow Randall Cobb to move to another team once the price exceeds $9 M$ per year? It sure looks like that's where this story is headed. Right now it appears that it's a waiting game to seal the deal on what Randall Cobb could deserve.

What if Randall's ask is above what you were willing to pay in Message #21?Originally posted by woodbuck27 View PostI know TT loves to play the waiting game.
Is that waiting?
Thompson has signed a bunch of guys prior to their FA market. But if they can't agree, then the player is going to wait for the market to act.
I suspect that if Cobb could be had for between 7 an 8 million annually, it would be a done deal. The question likely is how close (or over) he will be to Jordy.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Last year Victor Cruz signed a 5 year, 43 million dollar contract with the Giants. This is what Cobb will try to beat, but he won't beat it by much. 4 years, 36 million or 5/45 sounds right to me.I can't run no more

Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up

Green Bay Packers
Will Green Bay Packers pony up or pass on Randall Cobb?
By: Tyler Dunne of the Journal Sentinel
Feb. 8, 2015
" ... And business, for NFL wide receivers, couldn't be better. A handful of the league's best are up for new contracts — Dez Bryant, Demaryius Thomas, Cobb, Jeremy Maclin, Torrey Smith and Michael Crabtree. Of course, teams can still lock up unrestricted free agents before the spending spree officially begins March 10. The franchise tag is expected to be around $12.7 million for wide receivers if teams want to use that option. ..."

Indications are that WR Randall Cobb is seeking a deal that averages in the $9 million-per-year range.

i'm beginning to think that cobb might be leaving
the two sides have been working for awhile, and the deal isn't done. i'm thinking the packers have a number, and they aren't gonna budge from that (proven by the jennings negotiation)
and IMO, that number might be a lot lower then a lot of us think, and the team might have a good reason for that. they have proven in the past that they have no problem letting wr's leave if they think they have the talent on the roster to fill in (jennings, driver, jones). adams came on late last year, we have jordy as a clear deep threat #1, sounds like m3 has big hopes for janis, and a lot of us think Abbrederis has got what it takes. not to mention this looks like another freakishly deep draft for wr's just like last year where we can get good talent in the mid to late rounds
and oh, a-rod seems to be able to make and WR look good, proven by jennings and jones not amounting to much after they left
and i think it might be a wise move to NOT tie up a lot of money in another WR
