1. Randall Cobb, Wide Receiver

The Green Bay Packers’ first order of business needs to be re-signing star wide receiver Randall Cobb. He was an extremely dynamic piece of the Packers’ offense last season, and has developed an excellent chemistry with Aaron Rodgers over the years.

It appears that Cobb is seeking a deal that is worth around $9 million per season, which is a more than reasonable contract after the production that he put up in 2014.

During the 2014 season, he caught 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns. Cobb is just 24 years old, which makes the future look very bright offensively for any team that gives him the deal that he wants. Green Bay has already made it clear that they want to bring him back, and Cobb has been vocal about his desire to return to the Packers as well.

All that is left for the two sides to do is hammer out a deal and sign their names on paper. It is expected that the two sides will work something out fairly early in the offseason. Even though many expect him back in Green Bay, there are still plenty of teams out there that will make some big offers to him if they get the chance.
