2018: Nelson or Cobb

[ThunderDan]

Just think if the Packers cut either Cobb or Nelson and the player they replace them with does well but not great. A certain group of posters will complain that TT will not surround ARod with the talent he needs.

no way that happens here

I invoke the rule of KGB. Until you can replace him, you pay him

Get them back for 'the one shot Rip' next Season.

The Window and Aaron Rodgers is closing and may have already closed in Green Bay.

Sure it does, I’ve even seen it as someone’s signature on this website to remind us.

Put me on 'the List'.

I am a Packer fan that expects what I expect of myself.

Perfection or close to perfection as a Competitor. I don't compete to lose but rather win.

I want a real Super Bowl competitive Packer Team not a wanna be.

TT has not demonstrated that he's the GM that will help Aaron Rodgers win that second Super Bowl Ring.

His so deemed 'Draft and Develop Program' is overall 'a Fail' in my view. For all of the Rah Rah and TT's prowess as a Draft Expert:

I don't see it that way.

I'll shout to the Heavens when TT and MM and Dom Capers are all gone.

The thing we never here about as fans is when the team asks players to take a pay cut or be released and the player chooses the pay cut. No agent is going to brag about the great deal they got their client.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the Packers “restructure” Clay because the cap hit is gone after this year. He is underperforming his contract.

It took only one Poster (ThunderDan) to elect to disrespect himself; by carrying around such an immature uncool example of his obvious 'bad manners' as this':

How many WRs do we normally keep, 4/5? If we put $40M at this position isn't that around 10M per player? Looking at it that way 40M doesn't seem like an exorbitant amount.

I think, and I could be wrong, that the money guys assign a dollar figure to each position group. Hard to take up 30% of the cap on a group that’s not tops in the NFL. Next year the QB spot will take up $25 or more. The OLB group be at $25 or more. Those 3 groups would then leave $35mil for the rest of the team. Doesn’t seem like the math would work out.

Still no answer to question "Why are WRs so young in 2018?" There have been many past greats mentioned, but it looks like there's been a change. Is it the salary cap? The way WRs are used? You might expect WRs to last longer with the Chuck Cecils gone. Or maybe just a statistical quirk of this year. Jordy is an outlier now.

Maybe it's the way the game is changing. Increasing emphasis on short passing = greater need for quickness. Nah, a savvy route runner like Rice would flourish in any age and any environment.

The last CBA has put even more emphasis on younger, cheaper, salary-controllable players versus veterans. Its this way for all positions.

I don't think you can say WR is appreciably younger when you just lost 37 year old Steve Smith and 4 34 year olds are running around. Its always been a young man's game.

Agree with this. Adam's is a must keep and IMO, they should cut Cobb and keep Jordy. Cobb just isn't worth the money.

4 out of a list of 96 players. Stop it. And some of those 4 may retire before 2018 season.

You or somebody gave me a long list of old greats. Hardly any today, although Larry Fitzgerald grinds on. I was surprised at how many WRs are under 25. I expected a half dozen guys over 35. Maybe it has always been this way, but I wonder.
