The Green Bay Packers have been busy making sure they have their stars locked up to play at Lambeau Field for the considerable future.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers hopes Randall Cobb is next.
“I’d love for Randall to be next,” Rodgers said Saturday. “He’s a guy, again, who’s done it the right way. He’s been a great leader for us. He’s had some injury issues last year that hurt him that was out of his control. But he’s a consistent performer for us and a great guy in the locker room as well.”
The Packers began the week with nearly $13.7 million in salary-cap space. But that was before Nelson’s four-year, $39 million contract extension was signed on Saturday. Until the exact breakdown of that deal is available, it won’t be known how much room the Packers will have for a potential Cobb extension.
“Every coach wants his core guys, no doubt about it,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “You want to sign them all. Like I said before, if I was in charge of the player checkbook, we would have been way over the budget a long time ago. Yes, Randall’s an excellent football player and you always want to see your guys get paid and you continue to grow with them.”

It is always good news when Aaron Rodgers wants you as a target.
I would guess Cobb will be in a Packers uniform if that is where he wants to be.
