[QUOTE="TJV, post: 561742, member: 4300"] Michael Rodney who writes on his Packer Update site predicts the Packers will wait until late November/December to get a deal done with Cobb. He says the Packers want to see if he can stay healthy and Cobb wants to prove it. If Cobb does stay healthy, Rodney predicts he’ll get an offer higher than Jordy’s and offers a guess at the dollar and guarantee amounts. Here’s the link: [url]http://packerupdate.net/?p=34349[/url] One of the reasons I asked the question above was I thought they could revise Jordy’s 2014 salary but wasn’t sure. Now I’m wondering why they decided on the $2M figure. Before Jordy’s signing it was reported the Packers were about $13M under the cap (regarding the top 51).
