BMarsh signed a 3-year extension for $30M with $23M guaranteed. Marshall is a little older, and a little lady punchier, but he's also put up slightly better numbers.

 

I consider Marshall to be a pretty close comp to Jordy as a player as that next level just below "elite," so $10M a year isn't unreasonable. Especially at the rate contracts are going up.

Free Safety will defeat you with his superior business acumen.

I will say most WR'S can play at a high level until 34-35 provided they keep themselves in great shape.

I see a minimum of 3-4 more excellent years from Jordy.

You cannot compare WRs who play with AR to WRs who play with other QBs. Maybe Brees or Peyton, but that is it.

 

If Cutler or Ponder is your QB you have to overpay to attract quality WRs.

 

WRs are worth less in GB because AR can get it done with somebody else.

 

JMO IMO

And this.

They'll sign Jordy to an extension this year with it front loaded and Cobb with his back loaded. Work with the rising cap.

 

Ball > Brandt

You don't overpay 30+ year old wide receivers or 28+ year old running backs. You pay elite players at the QB, LT, and CB positions along with guys that can rush the passer.

 

I love Jordy, but something like 4 years/40 million is too much. 3/25 is probably closer, but if he gets to free agency someone will pay him bigger bucks and he'll end up like Greg Jennings, Marco Rivera, Scott Wells, etc. as guys who produce well in Green Bay and then get overpayed by others.   

Roddy White is going to make $18 Million over the next two seasons as part of his extension.

 

At age 33.

 

Jordy is going to get $10 million a year. He's got at least 3-5 productive years left. Even when his speed drops off, he'll be able to get open because of his size and route running ability.

Contract seems about right for Jordy.  He's everything you want in a WR; tall, strong, fast, good hands, great route runner, and not a diva.  He played most of last without Rodgers or a legit #2 WR and had a career year.  He's the definition of a guy who deserves to get paid.  

 

This may impact their ability to sign Cobb though.  Slot WRs make less than WRs who play outside.  If Cobb thinks he's getting $10m a year like Jordy, he's going to be disappointed.  I'd expect Cobb to get more like $6-7m a year (and only if he plays a full 16 games).  

Here's the thing I love about ROTTT. When he sees a problem or deficiency, he attacks it via multiple angles. He doesn't  sign a FA, he drafts and develops the position. I think the ROTTT/Ball duo are going to having a fantastic run in Green Bay.

Well deserved and again a great job by TT and Russ Ball.

 

From the Neil Greenberg article linked to above.  Worth highlighting.

 

Since 2011, Aaron Rodgers has thrown to Jordy Nelson 224 times and has completed 158 of those passes (70.5 percent). They have produced 2,683 yards, 26 touchdowns, three interceptions for a passer rating of 143.9. Plus, they have needed eight yards on average for the first down and have moved the chains 51.3 percent of the time.
