Well, if Rodgers actually asked to re-sign Cobb?

[QUOTE="sschind, post: 588506, member: 10247"] But you just said he would be foolish not to take the highest guarantee regardless of those factors. There are several ways in which Cobb's situation is different than the Packers FA WRs in recent years. 1) Nelsons second deal. We are talking a significant increase in "value" for a WR of Cobbs abilities than when Nelson signed his second contract. Plus Cobb is much more a part of the offense than Nelson was at the time. He holds more cards. 2) Greg Jennings deal with the vikings. We had Nelson, Jones and Cobb at the time. Jennings was seen as expendable. 3) James Jones deal with the Raiders. We had Nelson and Cobb at the time. Jones was seen as expendable. If we let Cobb walk we have Nelson. Adams has shown flashes but nothing yet that I would be comfortable banking on as a #2 WR. Boykin could have a resurgence but even so, he wasn't anything more last year than Adams was this year. Janis and Abrederis are complete unknowns. To those of you who say TT is a genius at drafting and developing WRs that may be so but he hasn't been so good at maintaining a WR corps. From top to bottom talent I would say our WR corps has decreased every year since Jennings left. There is a good chance we can reverse the trend if we keep Cobb otherwise I would say we get worse once again. Right now we have one of the top WR duos in the league and I think its more than just because we have Rodgers throwing them the ball. Obviously a great QB will boost the status of his WRs but I think Nelson and Cobb go above and beyond good because of Rodgers. If we lose Cobb we have a top 10 (maybe top 5 WR) and that's it. Detroit ha had Megatron for so long but I think their offense has improved considerably with the addition of Tate. I also think that TT knows this. So many people think TT is a cheapskate but the truth is he is not afraid to pay people he thinks are worth it. I think he knows Cobb is worth it. Cobb may be able to get more as a FA but I don't think it would be a significant amount more because I don't think TT will lowball him. [/QUOTE]
