Everyone knows Randall Cobb is incredibly valuable to the Green Bay Packers, but no one really knows exactly how valuable he is. The uncertainty over what he's worth to the team is likely why the two sides have yet to come to terms on a new contract. Cobb rightly wants to be paid as one of the better receivers in the NFL and the Packers rightly want to make sound financial decisions. But the most beneficial outcome for all parties involved would be to continue this successful professional relationship.

"Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson both had more than 90 catches and ranked first and seventh in DVOA (which measures receivers on a per-target basis)," Tom Gower of Football Outsiders wrote. "No other Packers receiver or tight end was above average in DVOA, a remarkable accomplishment for a team with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback."

There you go, a more tangible understanding of just what Cobb means to Green Bay's offense. While the team is high on second-year receiver Davante Adams, Cobb offers a unique blend of production, youth and versatility. Ultimately, Cobb's fit in this offense and value to Green Bay will push both sides to get a deal done, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.

"The receiver is everything the Packers love in a player - he's a home-grown talent (drafted in the second round) who's young (he won't turn 25 until Aug. 22) and at the top of his game (91 catches for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns last season)," Demovsky wrote. "That's why there's almost no chance of general manager Ted Thompson will let Cobb get to free agency even if the price is in excess of $9 million per season. They have the salary-cap space (nearly $30 million), to not only re-sign Cobb but also have enough to make several other deals."
