To anyone who says he could flop, or was a douche on the sidelines with a previous QB - you could be right.

....but I'm still doing my happy dance. I wish this was for more than 1 year because next year is already a nightmare for F.A. with the OL, Lacy, and Datone, but whatever, this guy has the potential to be pretty darn impactful

A+ from me for Ted ... finally got me to smile since we lost to the cards ...

Hope he turns out good; last 6'5 TE we had was finley ... Cook looks pretty good and his stats might have dipped but IMO they will go up if he's on the field because we will have many people to throw too and they will be him loose coverage.

I Agree with you musccy; would of loved a 2 year deal - I hate to have just a 1 year deal and then get stuck with paying $$$ if he does well or having him leave.

I like to think this is a good signing, but since the league seems to have figured out our offense, it won't make any difference. If the playcalling isn't switched up and some new wrinkles put in, we're looking at third place.

With the lack of interest this year (since he couldn't get a better deal) he'd might jump at the chance for a longer term contract rather than try free agency again.

You have to wonder if FAs like Jennings and JJ has scared off teams offering Packer FAs receivers big bucks.

Good signing, now how about ILB and backup tackles?

I heard Ted Thompson wanted to sign Cook to a two year deal, but Cook wanted a one year deal and a chance at a more lucrative contract next year. I also read that he wanted to go to the best possible team with the best possible QB. Apparently there was interest from at least three other teams. I love these low risk moves. It probably doesn't "solve" the tight end position for the long run, but it's a nice band aid until something else can be figured out, hopefully through the draft. I think that's how free agency should work, especially when it doesn't cost compensatory draft picks. Use free agency as a band aid on obviously weak positions and then draft the best players available in the draft and develop them. That's the winning formula, imo.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.
