Raiders emerge as favorite to land Randall Cobb - Silver And Black Pride

Raiders reportedly prepared to offer Randall Cobb $11 million per year | NFL | Sporting News

It makes a lot of sense like the story above states. Cobb has a relationship with McKenzie and Cobb played with veteran WR James Jones.

He'd be the #1 option at WR. Carr would have his deep threat and Carr and Cobb would have many years ahead of them to develop some chemistry.

Well that ended quickly. He has gone back to Green Bay for a 4-year $10 million offer. Nice little discount for them considering it sounds like some teams were ready to offer up to $12 million a year.

Crappy.. But what ya going do when a guy wants to stay with the team that drafted him.. Move on, and don't worry about the little sheet..

I think this report from SBP is believable, it's just that Cobb can get a 2nd payday at 28 and cash in twice. Why mess something up when the QB is Aaron Rodgers?

He re-signed with the Pack.

Oh well.

No doubt..

Losing Cobb was a nice stiff jab to the face, but not a knockout punch.. We good..

I would target Maclin now, I really like him too.

Torrey Smith is also a free agent. However, he is rather inconsistent and not a true #1 imo. He's a solid #2 on a good team but we have enough #2 WR's. We need a #1 guy for Carr to throw the ball to.

Hakeem Nicks is also a FA and he might be best option, since he's coming off a down season. He's still just 27 so he should be able to rebound. We can get him on the cheap and spend major money elsewhere since we have a lot of holes to fill to be honest.

So, Suh has a deal in place with Fins, that would pay him franchise QB money eh?? Crazy money..

Yep. We're going to have be very aggressive from here on out this offseason.

Smith and Maclin are the best of the FAs WRs that are left.. Either one would be good with me.. And remember we still have our choice of Cooper or White as well..

Ya.. But man giving a DT franchise QB loot is crazy.. 3 for the price of one is what we need..

 

[DJ]

I would prefer a proven veteran as the #1 WR but we may have to select Cooper and go with him.

However, I hope not.

 

[DJ]

Remember the Titans DT that Washington signed? That didn't turnout well.

 

[DJ]

Albert Haynesworth was his name.........................I think.

 

[DJ]

Crabtree's more of a possession WR, not the type we need.

Yup.. Losing Cobb hurt more than losing Suh imo.. Cooper is like a Vet which is a good thing..
