Now that we have a utility guy like this, can we let go of the 5th WR being a special teams exclusive player? a.k.a. Brett Swain. Jennings, Driver, Nelson, Jones, Cobb.

I still hope we pay James Jones and Cullen Jenkins. Everyone seems to have made peace with the possibility that one, or both, will be gone come the start/end of free agency. I have not. I want them both back.

For me it's about money and value. I don't think Jones has earned starter money yet, but whatever douchebag agent he has will demand it. As for Jenkins, it's about what's guaranteed in the contract. He's a fringe pro bowl player but if he only puts in 3/4 of a season every year, I don't want the Packers to pay top dollar for him, when they already have his replacement chomping at the bit to take over.

I'd sign both players back, you're right, but what is each players value? I think it less then they can get in the market.

I agree about Jenkins, but what does that say about his replacement, Neal, who was healthy and contributed less than Jenkins throughout the season? I don't understand the logic of being TOTALLY confident in Neal but not in Jenkins. As far as I'm concerned, they both have health issues until proven otherwise. At least Jenkins has proved he can largely fight through injuries and still be productive.

Randall Cobb is a great pick up for the Packers. I can't say much that hasn't been said already, but like some are saying...Packers WR corp is one injury away from not being competitive.

With the possible resigning of Jones, this is still a great pick. Swain showed us some spark last year, but I would still take Randall Cobb over Swain. Also, with the decline of Driver's play, Cobb can fill in for Driver more.

What really excites me about Cobb coming to the Packers is what the kid is actually coming into. He will be surrounded by a great group of wide receiver's that hold each other accountable. He is going to learn a lot from these guys and as he said, he is still growing and learning. Not to mention he has one of the best quarterbacks in the league throwing him the ball.

Cobb has an ideal situation. Look what AJ Green has to deal with going to the Bengals. A possible rookie quarterback (since Palmer is going to retire) and the bitchassedness of Ocho Cinco already.

Welcome to the Packers Cobb, where champions are made.

I'm glad to see Ted Thompson continues to give our QB weapons. One of Wolf's regrets is that he didn't do that. I trust not only TT's pick but also his evaluation of the team's situation and it's present players.
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?
