[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 758126"] I'm reminded of when Rodgers made his desire known in the press regarding the re-signing of Wells. That did not work out the way he wanted. Since then, his public expressions of support have been more muted. Saying in-season that he likes having Cobb on the field is different than stumping in the off season for a guy being re-signed. We have not heard that from him in quite some time. Rodgers is a smart guy. I think he's figured out by now what he doesn't know. He's not intimately familiar with the cap spreadsheets going out several years. He's not in tune to the current competitive landscape for free agents. He's not getting told by agents which players are not going to be resigned and would be available in free agency. He's not intimately familiar with scouting assessments for drafted replacements or where there may be positional depth at each spot on the board. And he's probably not poured over the tape of his defense and developed his own grades to know what trade offs on that side of the ball must be made to satisfy his offensive wishes. In short, I think he's smart enough to know he does not have the accumulated knowledge and expertise of the coaches, scouts and front office. You don't have to be all that smart; you just have to have your ego in some kind of check. Now, Rodgers might express a wish that Cobb be retained and be able to make a detailed case for it. At this stage, given past experience, that would be kept internal where it belongs. But can he make an assessment that Cobb is worth his cap to the football organization as a whole given the available alternatives and the necessary tradeoffs? I think he knows he cannot. And lets face it. We're not talking about Antonio Brown here, where Roethlisberger saying, "just pay the man", would get a lot of heads nodding and doesn't need to be said anyway. [/QUOTE]
