Yeah, she's like a 6/7 at best? These guys can all pull 10s.

yeah

we make her the packers yoga instructor, and we never lose a black free agent again

[King Friday]

It doesn't appear that she is actually IN Green Bay.

She'd make me want to visit Green Bay though...even in the middle of winter.

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

v

Wisconsin State Income Tax, Brown County Income Tax, Green Bay City Income Tax

Anyone want to slide on the gumshoes here?

All I can say is DAMN....

But alas, I could not get somebody that hot even in my prime, a man has got to know his limitations.

Good bye Mr. Cobb, it was nice having you on the team.

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.

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

He lost me at 'standout season by Davante Adams'. He had a good rookie season, but ~500 yards is a long way from a standout season.

JJ did ok this season, btw. Catches and TDs were up from '13, other totals were down but didn't fall right off. Main stat that went the wrong way was YPC, which you can probably blame on QB play.

He's listed as having played all 16 games, but only starting 10, I don't get that.

This paragraph really tells the story:

Some personnel people are convinced the market for Cobb will be between $9 million and $10 million, but they're often conservative this time of year. It wouldn't be shocking, given the number of clubs flush with cap space, to see a five-year deal for Cobb averaging $12 million, perhaps even $13 million with guarantees well in excess of $30 million.

If Cobb sees only a million a year difference, I think he wants to return and might give the Packers another shot to offer before Tuesday.

But if the difference is between a 8-9 mil average and 12-13, then its a no brainer.

Exactly. If he can get from someone else in 3 years nearly as much as the Packers would give him in 5 years, how could he pass that up?

I think we as fans often project our feelings for a team as the players feelings and motivations. From having known and worked with a number of pro athletes, a great many of them are very business like in their approaches to their free agencies. With a few exceptions, they do not care a lot who they play for or with. The deal is paramount. Good agents keep them focused on the business aspects. Since their careers are short, their decisions have less to do with championships and team success, and more to do with the deal they get. Younger players often seem to think they will get a championship eventually, and usually feel like they will make their team a winner anyway. Championships are most important to the few old vets who extend their careers for the sole purpose of trying to get one. They will often make huge contract concessions to get on a team with a good chance at a championship.

Cobb might like to stay in GB and play with Rodgers if he can, but I doubt it will have a big influence on his decision, unless the contracts offered by the Packers and others are quite close.

packers offered 5 for at between 8-9 million a year, cobb and his agent decided that wasn't in the ball park for what he could get on the open market

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/04/report-randall-cobb-expecting-more-than-packers-offer-of-8-9-million-a-year/

so much for the idea of golden boy randall cobb taking less money to stay with green bay. he like all players just wants the $$$$$$

sure sounds like he wants more then what jordy got, even though jordy is the clear #1 and cobb is the clear slot #2

good bye
