We're talking about a lot of money for a player who despite being good is not THAT good. how many games have you focused on watching davante adams? vs did you just look at this big 3 stats?

Jordy is also a very very humble dude and it would not surprise me one bit to see him take a straight pay cut to stay in GB with Rodgers. Cobb on the other hand, comes off has thinking very highly of himself and would probably be less likely to take a pay cut. Even still, Cobb, Jordy and Rodgers are all close so who knows. Unless we sign a FA WR I don't know if I'd want to go into 2018 with any of the backup guys presently on the roster besides Cobb, Nelson and Adams.

Davante was still being productive with Brett freaking Hundley tossing him the rock all these weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember though, we still have TyMont who should be moved back to WR and could fill Cobb’s role much much cheaper. The Montgomery experiment at RB should be over for the simple fact of Jones and Williams showing so well as rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thinks highly of his skillset, like any players do. He's not a diva WR by any means, and he's a really well-spoken individual. I think it comes down to the fact that there will still be a market for Cobb if he's released. I'm not sure that's the case with Jordy Nelson. There's less incentive for Cobb to take a paycut.

Yea, by no means was I saying Cobb was a diva. Far from it. That said, I feel like he would be less likely to take a pay cut and realize that he’s being well overpayed for the production he’s provided us on his current deal. Plus like you said, his market would be much healthier then Nelson’s so that plays a part too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't Jordy already taken a significant hometown discount to stay there? I thought he was making 4-5M a year less than market value already?

That kind of strengthens my point though, he’s already taken a discount to be in GB and with Rodgers. With his skills in the decline stage, even more reason to do it this time. He’s a farm boy and has even said he didn’t wait for more money because he’d never spend it all when he signed his last extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Seems like a lot but they sort of need to keep him given the WR situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAConrad Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 About what I expected for him. In the 13-15 million a year range. Kind of wanting to gloat as well...since this supports my argument made in the Jeffrey signing thread, when someone literally tried saying that in 2 years there won't be more than 12 WRs making more a year than Alshon. Well....we already have one WR contract and it's bigger than Jeffrey's, and there are still a dozen WRs to hit the upcoming market in 2018/2019 who will get more. So yeah, I was right. Have to be a d-bag and just say that ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAConrad Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 You guys crapping on this deal do realize that 4 and 5 year contracts arent handed out based on how a player played for you before. It's for what the team expects/believes said player to be capable of doing during the span of that contract, aka in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is football's future where every signing made that's not your team is overspending and every signing made for your team is great value.
