Nelson's 2014 pay is scheduled to be $3.5 million as part of the three-year, $12.6 million contract extension he signed on Sept. 29, 2011. That contract turned out to be a bargain for the Packers, but Nelson ended up leaving money on the table.

"When I signed it, I don't think I did," Nelson said earlier this offseason. "I think everyone, when I signed, thought it was a good deal. No one would have known I'd have 1,200 yards and 15 touchdowns [in 2011]. Obviously, hindsight is 20/20 but, again, I'm not worried about that at all. I've been comfortable with my decision."

Should the Packers pay or is Nelson not worth $10 million per year?

Yep, a 3/30 or 4/40 extension to the 1/3.5 he's making this year seems like a fair deal to me. The Rodgers/Nelson combo is one of the best most efficient and productive in the league and Jordy can do whatever we need him to. He can play deep threat, possession guy, catch a short pass and get some YAC, good red zone guy, play in the slot or outside. Definitely worth 10 a year though I would obviously prefer to get away with less. =d>

I was good with letting Jennings walk because I thought Jordy was the better WR but I don't think we have anyone on the team as good as Jordy right now so at that price I don't think you let him go.

In all seriousness, the guy needs to be paid.

PS: Never realized until now that spell-check says that Jordy is a misspelled word.

Well this is a kick to the pills. I read all spring that he was willing to take a hometown discount, so I figured we could get him for the 6-8 range. I personally think Cobb is more important both because of his versatility and youth, so if Jordy is going for 10, you figure Cobb won't be far off...then you have Bulaga and Boykin you may want to pay.

I know it's pointless to bitch about since it'll happen every year, but I still hate having to watch the Packers choose who they want to let walk, and certainly it'll be at least one of the 3 WRs.

Well, Williams contract is up after this season as well as Rajis. Hawk can be cut a cap hit of 1.3 million ([aiee]). Who knows if Peppers is gonna be around, and if not, they can spread his signing bonus over two seasons at 2.5 million.

Victor Cruz signed with the Giants for 5 years/43 million as their slot guy and I would put him over Cobb. So maybe Cobb falls in the 5-7 million area?

I say secretly because a lot of them won't admit it but I'm sure they were all hoping, like you were and I was, to get that hometown discount. Who knows, it may still happen. Still, it has to be a shot to the "Packer People" ego when you find out that your team player isn't really any different than any other athlete in the league. He want's his money.

Raji's is a relative blip on the salary cap radar now anyway, that is unless he does something this year with his shift to NT.

Cruz doesn't run the ball like Cobb is, he's not your prototypical slot guy and I'm sure he and his agent will exploit that.

I say wait and see. There is plenty of time. If any of the young guns show promise of being something special the Packers don't need Jordy. (unless of course someone pulls a hammy but the odds of that happening are next to nothing.)

I love Jordy but $10 mil is an awful lot to pay. If he goes for $8 I can live with that.

Jordy is the type of guy Green Bay fans love. He's white, he's an unheralded "try hard"/blue collar guy, and he gets the job done.

But I'll wait to see what Davante Adams looks like, before I decide how much to pay him. To say nothing of Richard Rodgers, Colt Lyerla and Brandon Bostick.

Jordy's coming up on 30, no?

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
