What is the future of Randall Cobb in Green Bay? He still catches a decent amount of passes, but he's on pace for only about 800 yards and 4 TDs, after a relatively disappointing 2015. He's clearly the 3rd WR on the team now, and cap hits of nearly $13M each in 2017 and 2018 are going to be difficult to swallow for a #3 receiver who is limited mostly to the slot. It's possible he could slip even further down the depth chart if the Packers add a highly regarded WR through either the draft or free agency.
My guess is that the high dead cap that would result from cutting him keeps him safe yet in 2017, but he becomes a very likely 2018 cut candidate if he doesn't start to turn it around.
