Cobb wants nine mil per year

$12 mil a year now per a source...

"The Packers may have set a ceiling of $10 million per year with Cobb ... Cobb appears to have a higher number than that. One source said the word going around at the NFL combine league personnel staff and executives was that his price was $12 million per year."

Packers offered Cobb $8 to $9 million and he turned it down because he expects other teams will pay him $9 to $13 million

"According to sources, (Cobb's agent Jimmy) Sexton has been told by the Packers they'll sign Cobb to a five-year contract averaging in the $8 million to $9 million range. Sexton basically has told the team he's confident more lucrative offers await come Saturday.

...

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."

as much money as the Eagles have now they might get both Cobb and Maclin

ESPN Insider Chris Sprow @ SprowESPN 4h

Hard to fathom #Eagles won't look hard at Randall Cobb. 24

years old; can line up slot or backfield; cap space galore.

 

I don't think the Eagles want to pay 12 mil per year...to two receivers.  If I'm Maclin, no way I'm sitting back while the Eagles pay Cobb more than me.  I would leave on principle alone. That aside, Kelly is getting quite the rep if you read between the lines of reports.  Money talks, sure, but bullshit walks.  I don't think that Philly is going to be a free agent's first choice for a destination.  The Godfather Kelly wants to rid his kingdom of all strong-willed personalities and rule with an iron fist.

 

We'll see how it all works out.

49ers free agency: Jeremy Maclin might be the most interesting WR out there for them, if Randall Cobb is too expensive

"the 49ers would love Cobb (what team wouldn’t?), but I just don’t see how he fits into their payroll these days, especially if he is aiming for something above $10-11M a year

...

The more reasonable choice (potentially): the Eagles’ Jeremy Maclin...(but) if Maclin’s asking price is above $8M per… that might not be a number the 49ers can meet.

poo, man. I don't even know why we're even discussing this. You know both are out of our price range.  I think that this trade has everyone hyped up. LOL. Truly though, I am the closes thing to an NFL addict that you'll ever see, so I don't really mind discussing anything.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
