One of those guys looking for work is Harry Douglas formerly of the Falcons.  While he isn't Cobb I think he still has plenty of gas left in the tank and could help soften the blow of losing 18 for what one would guess a reasonable figure. He is just one guy off the top of my head but the point is a guy like Douglas would probably run around, what $2-4M/year, leaving a bunch of jack to bring in other talent to help solidify the D.  In a perfect world the Packers keep Cobb for a reasonable amount but we don't live in a perfect world.  The simple truth is overpaying for a player isn't TT's style and I don't see him breaking that trend with RC.  I am not giving up hope just yet but like I said the longer this goes on the more I believe we will be calling Randall a "former Packer" before too long.   G  P  G!</p></blockquote><p></p>
