Randell Cobb

Would he demand a big contract and can we afford him?

[CRA]

No point talking about FAs that teams ain't gonna let leave. GB isn't parting with him

I've been holding off on looking at upcoming possible free agents. Doesn't make much sense to spend all that energy on guys that may not even be available.

March 10 can't get here fast enough.

[WOW!!]

If we go for any "big-ticket FA" the ONLY possible one I could see us going for is JPP (G-man loves his pass rushers and knows what JPP can do first-hand). None of the top WRs warrant a contract that they'll demand, there's no really good FA tackles and we're not going to spend any big bucks on a safety or CB. I see it as a 5% chance we pursue JPP and no chance we even go after any of the other big money guys on the market.

Yes, he will.

No, we can't.

We'll be looking at other options.

For those interested in Torrey Smith, I can give you these bits and pieces--

 

He was offered a 5-year, $35m contract at the beginning of the season and did not take it---Then, he had a down year, FWIW.

He said he wants to return to Baltimore, but there is some sense he is going to test the waters to gauge his worth.

 

I think $7m per season is probably where he will be--more than that is a #1.  (Coincidentally, it is where another WR names Smith was).

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Green Bay already extended Jordy Nelson and is paying him big money. Last year they drafted Devante Adams in the 2nd round as a potential 'next man up' once Cobb was due for a big deal and he played well this season. I'm not so sure the Packers invest that much money in their #2 when they just drafted a receiver last year to be his potential replacement.

[Jeremy Igo]

I can see someone with a lot of cap room over paying for Cobb.

[KendrickPanther]

You have to wonder, if the Pack are serious about keeping him, why haven't they made a move yet?

They have a month to go before they have to. It's not like other teams are allowed to talk to him yet.

[The Huddler]

Dude is all purpose.

Hands, Yac, and a returner.

Might be worth market value..

[JakeH]

Even if the Packers do let him go, which I doubt, he'd be way too expensive to be on our radar. He's the definition of "shopping at Tiffany's" this offseason. Guys like Cecil Shorts and Denarius Moore are much more likely to be in our price range.

Can't see him leaving either. The Packers are in a decent position with their cap space to bring him back, but perhaps a sticking point could be price and whether they are willing to pay it?

Apparently he wants to at least match what Decker got from the Jets ($36 million, 5yr), and they recently signed Nelson to a new deal ($39 million, 4yr). If they can get him at $7 million a year, they should bring him back. However, at $9 million (or more) they may decide to not pay that amount of money to two WRs, or they may not want to pay Cobb more than their star receiver, Jordy Nelson.

Like you, I don't think Cobb is going anywhere. Him and Nelson combine as one of the best duos in the league. I can't imagine they want to let go of a 24 year old heading into his prime years. But i suppose it wouldn't be too surprising to see one of the big name receivers hit free agency.
