I'm in favor of keeping RC18 and using him in a 3rd down back role. 10 million for that, though? Abbrederis looked every bit as good as Randall Cobb yesterday. Everyone knew Abby knew how to play the position. Can he take the pounding of a season is still the question because he's way too weak.

Not sure what GM would be willing to deal any of the types of TE's we need for Cobb. Plus, as has been noted... TE's are much harder to find in the draft than are WR's.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Also, maybe Martellus Bennett of the Bears? I remember hearing rumbling that Bennett wanted out, and reading that one of the beat writers thought the Bears may prefer to release Bennett then bringing him back for one more year on a $5 million + salary.

Bennett is on the last year of his contract, Graham has two years remaining. Both have good contracts for trading because neither would cost their team much in dead money, Bennett under 2 million, Graham nothing.

As for trading Cobb. It is out of the question. We are a passing team, and need all the passing threats we can get. And Trading Cobb would cost more than keeping him on the team cap wise. Now if we traded a draft pick for a TE depending on the TE I'd be very interested.

Sign Gates and draft O.J. Howard in round 2.

Cobb stays. We need him as he's our best running back.

How in the hell are going to trade a guy with Cobb's contract? Just a futile thread. You either a free agent tight end with the speed to punish a defense or you draft one in the higher rounds.

Trade Cobb, one of our best offensive weapons. Wow, just wow!

It won't happen because:

1 - His contract is large enough that many teams wouldn't take him.

2 - Most teams that would take him don't have a TE that would justify the trade. If they do, they probably won't let him go.

3 - This team doesn't seem to value the TE position as much as we all want to think.

4 - Trade your offensive Swiss Army Knife for a guy that can simply make a few catches and block some? He better be on Gronk's level for that trade.

Wow how fast things change on here, If I get time i will try and dig up the thread on how badly we needed to resign Cobb last season. I was in the minority and said let him walk and use the money on a Julius Thomas and an inside linebacker and people thought i was nuts. But now all of a sudden alot of folks are on the bandwagon for dumping Cobb with his big contract. It's actually laughable.

Oops my bad this is what i said

Offer him the same deal as Jordy if he don't sign then let him walk. Then go after Andre Johnson for a 2 year deal and also Julius Thomas at TE. I think we could get both those players for a combined $10 million a year. Johnson would be a good fit for the young guys to learn from and also be a very good player for the 2 years he is here. It was just a thought where we could sure up 2 spots instead of 1 for the money. Then sign the whale and Tramon and also get an ILB from free agency and we would be just fine.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I say Cobb is too valuable. Everybody talks about how it would be great to have a Sproles type guy. Well duh, that's exactly what Cobb is. Mike just doesn't use him that way very often, because he's afraid the team will score too many points.

Monty is like that too, only more explosive. I hope the broken ankle doesn't slow him down any.
