The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... According to two NFL sources familiar with the Packers plans, the team hasn't in any way given up on its efforts to re-sign Cobb, who caught 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2014, his fourth NFL season. Set to turn 25 in August, Cobb is viewed as a core player that the Packers definitely want to keep.

Diehards Line: Earlier this week, CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora reported that the Packers were focusing on their other free agents. ESPN's Ed Werder reported Thursday that there had been little progress between the Packers and agent Jimmy Sexton on a deal for Cobb. Cobb took to his Twitter account Thursday, although he did not refer to La Canfora's report specifically. "Rule #1: Don't believe everything you hear in the media," Cobb tweeted. Whether they tag Cobb or not, ESPNMilwaukee.com's Jason Wilde believes it's likely that negotiations with Sexton will go down to the final hours before the free-agent market opens on March 10. Earlier this month, Demovsky reported on ESPN.com that Cobb and Sexton were seeking a deal that would average $9 million per year. If the salary cap ends up being the $143 million the NFL Players Association projected it will be, the Packers will have nearly $33 million in cap room to work with.
