That version of Cobb was worth every penny. But he remains an above average slot who has a great rapport with Rodgers. And while he’s gotten hurt fairly often, he’s still been good for 13 starts over the past three seasons. You keep him because cap savings are only worth what you can do with them. At this point, there’s no one to spend on. An argument could have been made that they could have cut him and done something more with the savings back during the early days of free agency, but I don’t think that would have been wise. They’re already moving on from Nelson. Had they cut Cobb too, Allison would have been the only receiver on the roster with previous experience with Rodgers. That would not be ideal. Bottom line is that the Packers are a lot better off with an overpaid Cobb than without him. They can move on after this season once all these young players have some more experience under their belts.</blockquote>
