I doubt Cook comes back to GB but he might be willing to call it truths with Ted gone.... I don't think there is a top guard out there in free agency. You've got a batch of old guys making top coin (Iupati, Levitre, Saffold), an old has been (Foster), a couple of names that haven't panned out (Carpenter, Fluker, Warmack) and a bunch of guys I've never heard of before. Cook is 31, turner 32. If you bring him in, he's going to cost north of $7M/year. Add that to Graham's salary and that is a horrible use of cap space on the tight end position. And... would he even want to come back after the TT gaff? I like Tate. That's a guy I'd take, but...he's going to be 31 and will cost about $10M/year. So Cobb is gone and you replace him with someone older to play that position? I get it, Tate is better and has stayed healthier longer, but still, I'm unsure if he will be worth it over the guys we have on the roster today.

{Family Ghost} Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I'm in for a free agent #2 wideout. A guy like Tate or Emmanuel Sanders might fit in. We need someone who still has some wheels and can mesh quickly with Rodgers .. someone with a high football IQ. We probably made a mistake in choosing Cobb over Nelson this year, but neither is long for the NFL at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think AR wants a veteran WR that can play and trust to be in a spot. Cobb might be younger, but his body hasn't held up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Yeah, Tate pisses me off but hes just an excellent route runner. I think we could use another one of those. We missed that out of 81 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably made a mistake in choosing Cobb over Nelson this year, but neither is long for the NFL at this point. Was thinking about that today. Our WR experience was our offense's biggest issue this year. It's one of the reason's I advocated so hard for Dez Bryant this last offseason. I agree that we pretty clearly made the wrong decision on which WR to cut. Neither are great but Randall Cobb looked done. He had the big play week one but pretty useless this year after that. He looked as slow as any WR in the NFL this year and once again showed that he simply can not be counted on. Good guy but I'll be thankful when that horrid contract is our rearview mirror. I'd like to see either a first or second round investment into the position and or a quality UFA addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snackattack Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 This may have been talked about already, but whats not to like about frank clark? I only know him based on a handful of seahawks games i’ve watched the past few years and i have always been impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some domestic violence (?) kind of issues in college - which marred and made his drafting by SEA somewhat contentious - but to my knowledge, he's not repeated any of those actions since being in the league.

While I'd love to see a guy in the mold of Jennings/Theilen/Diggs- great route runners - I'm not sure I'd put WR on top of the needs of the front 7 or OL. EQ and MVS clearly still have a long way to go, but I think a healthy Kumerow and Allison provide enough to win. Now, if we could somehow snag an Iowa TE in the 2nd round, I'd be tickled pink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyIrish23 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Would love to get Adam Humphries or Golden Tate. I think having a savvy route runner in the slot will provide Rodgers insurance. Both Cobb and Graham struggled to create separation which causes Rodgers not to throw it in a tight spot. The other player that I want to Packers to get is Earl Thomas. I know he had an injury and is getting up in age but I truly believe this guy would change our defense. He instincts and knowledge would cover up so many weaknesses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
