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.
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
IMHO JMO if he stays healthy and has the year he could have, Cobb will wind up costing more than Jordy. Cobb is the guy who could see north of $10M/year.

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.
So underrated...
agree. Cobb I think has 2 big contracts coming before he retires. I am confident the brass will get it done right.
So underrated...
AR?
I agree.
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.
Howz that extension gonna look when they convert him to a TE in 3 years
Damn, I think in order to have an elite WR we need to get rid of AR.
Per @AdamSchefter, Nelson's signing bonus is $11.5 million, which is included in that $14+ million guarantee. 2014 base was $3.05 million.

Only fitting that a guy who catches everything catches a well-deserved 39M contract. Congrats @JordyRNelson

Not surprised Jordy Nelson got big $$. He and Aaron Rodgers are best QB-WR duo in NFL http://t.co/pM55LYd5k7 pic.twitter.com/gXQIpaxSci

Here's a piece I did on how Packers use Jordy Nelson in the slot. He's also one of the league's best deep receivers http://t.co/CIVZbSUoNV

Didn't get 10 million a year. Pwned by TT.
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).
29 years old. 4 years / $39mm is a great deal for both sides. Ball knows what he is doing.
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.
Meanwhile in Queensland...
!!!!!! YEAH!!!!! ...and I get to keep my teeth!
@ Icheese Nice!
Guess Jordy's buying lunch.
Nice deal for both sides. Very under rated wide out. #whitepeopleproblems
I hope Jennings doesn't own a dog.

$9.75 Million average. I was rong.
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.
From today..
No surprise, Aaron Rodgers airmails a 40-plus yard touchdown to Jordy Nelson over Dennard in no huddle. Been hooking up all morning deep.

We still talking about football?
Man it sucks being a Packer. You know....doing all the right things on & off the field.
The Packers never reward anybody for good play. This sucks
@ Icheese Nice!
Don't encourage him.

Coupled with his $3.50 million compensation for 2014, he’s now under contract for five years, $42.5 million. That’s an average of $8.5 million per year.
Dam ewe ROTTT!
