Quote:If a bidding war occurs, it's realistically possible that Cobb could average eight figures, But even with the salary cap expected increase, I still believe that an $ 9 million average would quite a haul for Randall Cobb if he gets that offer. Especially, when considering the contract that Eric Decker signed with the Jets and Golden Tate signed with the Lions last March. Decker received a little over $ 7 million per season from the Jets. Tate received a little over $ 6 million per season from the Lions.

It wouldn't surprise me if Cobb gets a $9mil or more on his next contract. He's 2 years younger than Tate and had similar production yardage wise last year while scoring 8 more TDs. 3 years younger than Decker and was way more productive last season. (Granted Cobb had Rodgers and Decker had Vick/Smith.) Cobb undoubtedly will also be asked to contribute more on ST than Tate (who I'm aware does contribute to ST) and Decker thus upping the price tag on him a little more IMO.
