I cannot wait to only have 5 on the roster. I'm so tired of how many of this forum are so infatuated by the wr's on the tail end of the roster/practice squad.

Unless Janis finally puts it together this fall I think he's cut, his special teams play while amazing two years ago diminished last season. Also I think Yancey has the body type to fill his spot pretty well...

But the Packers top 5 ST coverage unit guys for 2016 were Janis, Brice, Evans, Fackrell and Elliott. And Fackrell, Elliott and Brice have all sorta gone from 3rd team back-ups to important 2nd team back-ups... which might be leaving just Janis and Evans as full time STs. Of course Joe Thomas might get more playing time on STs again if the other ILBers and SS/ILBers are healthy.

Yes but in the 5 spot they are probably at least active on game day at some time during the season. It gets real annoying listening to people rave all season about a guy who doesn't even where pads on game day. Also I saw a post that some people aren't giving Janis enough credit for his special team play. Pretty sure others are giving him too much credit. He's been here for 3 seasons and I can think of maybe 2 total big plays he has made on ST. Maybe I'm just biased against him.

How much of Jordy's production was on the outside?

I can't believe how some people can "hate" on Jordy. The guy has been fearless and STILL is extremely talented!
Look at what he did last year! Remember the Bears game in Chicago? He saved that game for the Packers.
He's STILL a great player!

You can bet how thrilled Arod would be if there was anything close to a threat of letting Jordy go.

I think the time is coming in Jordy's career where he is evolving into mainy a slot guy.  With him there, where is the room for Cobb?  Bennett took the other side as a TE.  Can Cobb be effective outside?  Last season the Packers were about 400 rec on 600+ targets.  The RB & TE groups each got about 100 targets.  Granted some of Monty's rec were as a WR before he stayed primarily in the backfield.  Jordy and Davante took 270+ targets with the rest being Cobb and the others plus rounding errors.  With Jordy, Davante, Monty, and MB getting say a combined 350+ targets this year, where are the targets coming from for the rest of the offense?  Especially if McCarthy ever holds to his we need to establish the run lament after every game.

All that leads me to think Cobb may be trade bait.  Not that I expect or desire it but he's getting big $$$ for a third option at WR.  Adams is going to want to be paid next season.

Cobb is young enough that he might be able to get that change of direction back. Without it, he's just not special.
