[QUOTE="Shawnsta3, post: 600915, member: 5065"] I see a lot of pessimism on here regarding the Packers ability to [I]replace[/I] Cobb if he were to leave in free agency. If Cobb is truly seeking a $12 million dollar a year deal, and some team with a ton of cap space (see Oakland or Jacksonville) is willing to give that to him that would be the teams mistake to make. TT and Ball have a relative price set on their free agents and aren't going to enter a bidling war even if the position on the team behind said player seems to have relatively little depth (see EDS last year). Though I also wouldn't be surprised to see Cobb sign once he's tested the market a bit after free agency negotiations have begun. (See Shields also last year) As far as [I]replacing [/I]Cobb goes I think there's a lack of understanding in this thread. It's [I]one[/I] thing to replace Cobb's place on the field, and [I]another[/I] to replace his production. IMO Cobb is a great player and it would be tough to replace either of these things without him but the Packers offense would still survive without him. As an above poster already mentioned, as far as replacing Cobb's slot position on the field Jordy has played there in the past with great success and I could see Abbrederis and [I]possibly[/I] even Janis having potential there if no one else is added in the draft or free agency. As far as replacing his production, I think would pose a slightly bigger problem. Nelson is a great #1 reciever and Adams shows great potential as a #2 but I'm not sure if I or the Packers coaching staff is ready to put him in that position yet. Though it is interesting to note that Cobb made a huge transformation personally going from only 25 catches his rookie year to leading the team with 80 his second year, if Adams could emulate that second year rise. There is also talent in Abbrederis and if another WR were to be added in the off-season I think we would be getting close to a unit as good as the unit was with Cobb last year. But for right now, it's a wait-and-see game. [/QUOTE]
