Packers very likely to sign WR Cobb even if it doesn't happen during the regular season

Is it plausible that the Green Bay Packers would let Randall Cobb walk in free agency this offseason?

Sure, it's plausible. But very unlikely.

If reports are true, Greg Jennings ended up with less money.

Randall Cobb should hit free agency. I think the Patriots will give him a lot of cash and he could replace Julian Edleman.

I suppose this is as good of a place as any to mention that more than likely Cobb will not be throwing the ball.

When he was drafted there were a few members here who thought for sure they would wildcat with him and let him pull up from the run to throw the ball. One pass his rookie season. that's it. Even when Rodgers was injured last year they didn't have Cobb throw the ball.

Depends on they type of guy he is. If he wants every last dime he can get because he is greedy or if he is one of those "your offer is insulting to my talent level" type a-holes then he will test the market. Bottom line is he will most likely be cashing a check for around 12 million and averaging another 6 million a year for the next 4 or 5 years. He might be able to milk another 5-6 million from another team but at what cost to his productivity and his status.

If it were me this is what I would do. I would go to the Packers and say "I think I am as valuable to this team as Jordy. Give me the same contract he got and I'll sign today"

Like many others, I want Cobb to stay in Green Bay. He's young, versatile and is a true weapon in the Packers offense. He adds something that no other receiver on this team adds.

A few thoughts on the whole situation:
- How much is he going to demand? Jordy's contract is very team friendly being back-loaded. Do we see something similar for Cobb? I keep seeing statements about how Cobb will demand more than Nelson. I don't see how that is realistic.
- Will the players have to make a difficult decision on another player's contract with the signing of Cobb? First player that comes to my mind is Tramon Williams. Free agent after this year.
- Do we really think Ted Thompson is going to let one of his star picks walk on his first contract negotiation?


How much would you pay Cobb?

He's a hell of a #2, but when the clock is running down and you need a first down or a TD against top-end coverage, is there anybody in the league you'd take over Rodgers to Nelson? Cobb's important to the Packers but not irreplaceable. I don't see anybody on the Packers roster that could replace Nelson anytime soon. Ted's shown year after year when he releases our star WRs that the rookies he's brought in are maturing into cheap, effective replacements. Give Adams a year or two and he could provide a very similar skillset to Cobb.

Adams has definintely proven he can be a #3. My only concern with Cobb leaving is Boykin has appeared to regress (I realize he has had injuries) and we have only seen Jared Abbrederis and Jeff Janis for pre-season and limited gametime action. I am not sure the comfort factor is there for Ted Thompson or Mike McCarthy to let Cobb walk.
