I seriously doubt Shields and his agent actually EXPECT top-5 CB money, but it's a negotiation so you start out high. Bear in mind that some altruistic sould didn't leak the info on Shields' supposed demands just to be nice, the move was most likely a calculated leak to scare away other teams that might be turned off by that demand and maybe to force Shields to listen to media and fans tell him he's not worth that much.Also, slightly different subject but I think I would  actully prefer to see the Packers re-sign Nelson over Cobb if it came down to it. Obviously I hope that doesn't happen but I think it's a distinct possibility. Tough to justify spending as much as those two will cost when you're already paying a HUGE amount of money to a QB that can make many receivers look good. As for the Nelson over Cobb decision, I really like Cobb but I just think Nelson is a better receiver capable of doing some things that Cobb just can't (mainly due to the size difference).</blockquote>
