The Packers
have until Saturday at 3pm to exclusively negotiate with their free agents. At
that time they can begin negotiations with other teams.  Various reports say that Oakland
and Jacksonville
are ready to make huge offers to wide receiver Randall Cobb in the range of $12
million dollars per season. That is most likely higher than GM Ted Thompson is
willing to pay.  The Milwaukee
Journal-Sentinel also reports that Seattle
is going to make a push to sign cornerback Tramon Williams.
