Anyone still saying this team is just in a funk?

Seriously? Cobb is the least of this team's problems.

Yeah his small handful of games played and minimal production really makes up for his 13 million$ cap hit.

Great, I'll look forward to our SB win next season when he's gone.

It’s not just him, it’s the handful of high paid and underperforming vets that are handicapping the roster. But you best believe with the money he makes we could get a very productive player that helps the team win way more than he has.

His contract is the issue.

His contract is the issue.

I realize that, and he's likely gone after the season. What I don't get is all the blame being cast his way for this year's train wreck. He was hardly targeted last season and was hurt most of this season. Kind of hard to produce under those circumstances regardless of whether or not he's any good.

The problem with Cobb isn't talent it's cap hit. That, plus the Packers have no leverage to help them.

He's young even by NFL standards and productive enough that GB won't be able to get his pay down. His agent will say "he's 28, and has 2 good contracts left". We won't be able to get him at less as another team will make him a #1 and pay him in FA . Case closed.

Sit Arod and play backups, and practice squad to see who is on team next year, the only one of vets I would consider keeping is Cobb, will get a lot of disagrees but imo he is at least a keeper.

The Packers would have to release another player to promote another from the practice squad. It's not gonna happen.

I think it's going to be a crap 19 as well, bc we need to cut fat contracts and take it on the salary cap chin next year. We should be moving on from:

GRAHAM
COBB
BULAGA
MATTHEWS
WILKERSON
CROSBY
PERRY

Honestly, this feels like a full rebuild. We have some young talent, but heavy contracts for AR, ADAMS, Bakhtiari. gonna be some cap pain upcoming.

As long as Rodgers, Adams and Bakhtiari perform up to expectations their contracts won't be an issue. The Packers have too many veterans not playing well enough to justify their hefty price tag though.

You can't renegotiate - he's an UFA next year.

which is why that 10 million comment made no sense. At this point, Cobb is not scheduled to make anything for anyone next year.

Your right he is not as good as 2012 but next to Devante, who else has stepped up and been consistent? Arod is leaning more on Devante because he is reliable and when Cobb is healthy and on the field he is a second option for Arod.

A few years back, Cobb was injured in a game against the Ravens. I do not believe he has been the same since. When he does play(he rarely does), he is a shadow. He cannot get separation anymore, and when he does make a catch, it is usually on a blown defensive coverage. Bottom line: Rodgers needs receivers who can get open. Nelson couldn't, and was let go; Cobb should be next.

Funk? Did someone say funk around here?

It's just time to face facts gang. This is a bad football team . and forget 'one of the most talented rosters in the league ', this overall is'nt a very talented roster at all.
