At last, Green Bay Packers fans can R-E-L-A-X.
By re-signing Randall Cobb to a four-year, $40 million deal, the Packers‘ offense is set to up to be even more explosive next year.
Cobb showed that he is determined to win a Super Bowl after reportedly taking less money to stay in Green Bay, and turning down six to seven offers elsewhere.
Randall Cobb had 6-7 offers today, I’m told. He turned down considerably more money elsewhere to sign with the #Packers.

If he had hit the market, there’s every chance he could have signed a deal in the range of $12 million per year, with more guaranteed money on the table than the $17 million in Green Bay.
We will never know for sure.
