15412 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) This is obviously a trade you do not make except to appease Rodg. It is simply a bad deal for the Packers. Not a big deal with it being a 6th round pick but a bad deal. The best question at the Rodg presser was when he was told by a reporter that most of the “moves” he wanted to make in the past would have been bad moves based on that players then performance. Which is true. Rodg of course blubbered something about, we’ll they would have been better here. Pathetic.

HokieHigh Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 When I went to the Packers Steelers game in '17, it was astonishing the speed/agility difference between Leveon/AB vs Cobb. Cobb was trying to make moves out there like them, he just couldn't. In 2017. That said, I would have felt better on that last drive last year with Cobb on the field than what we had, so this could be a plus.. esp if it helps young guys.

Surprised that comment hasn't been talked about more -- when he mentions Jordy and Cobb as examples of guys who were mistreated, would've taken a pay cut or whatever to stay with the team... Those guys were AWFUL in their last years with the Packers. Saying things would have played out differently with HIM as their QB is not only arrogant, it's just flat out wrong when you consider their last years .

Leader Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Rob Demovsky - This is official. Packers only had to give up a sixth-round pick and got the Texans to eat $3 million of his salary. I’m told the cap hit on the Packers will be slightly under $3 million. Andy Herman - Would seem to indicate Cobb took a bit of a pay-cut as well, or at least pushed some money into future years.

Agree....but I'm wondering if the cap hit was reduced by converting some cash into a SB - and - how many years is it for? Herman mentions "future years"....

It's a steal if it keeps Rodgers from acting like a ***** for the next 6 months. Cobb himself is kind of the throw in part of the deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb himself is kind of the throw in part of the deal. I have to say I was fed up with Rodgers but I respect what he said today for the most part. It was more the media acting like a ***** than Rodgers. He wanted it to play out with just him and the Packers and not deal with the media. Issue is, once the media got wind of it, they ran with it. the only thing he has directly said that was slightly D bag was today when he said players would come to GB to play with him. Even if that’s true, I don’t think better unsaid during a press conference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Texans ate 3 million of his cap hit then there is still 5.25 million to account for. So UNLESS Cobb took a pay cut we didn't get him for under 3 million. Those additional dollars are pushed into future years, which means we keep kicking the can down the road. I wish we would have shipped Rodgers out earlier in the summer!
