At $10 million per year on a $40 million dollar deal signed in 2015 after a breakout season, it's no secret that many believe Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb is heavily overpaid.
This sentiment is based off of his performance over the last two seasons in which Cobb left much to be desired on the field—2015 even more so. But Cobb's drop-off in performance didn't just fall out of the sky.
In 2014, then-wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett had a group at wide receiver that looked less-than-optimal on paper. However, Jordy Nelson and Cobb combined for 25 touchdowns and over 2,800 receiving yards.
