"I'm excited to be a Packer. Excited to play in Green Bay this year."

Perhaps the Green Bay Packers are just as excited to have a tight end with a potential skill set to help a passing game that was inconsistent throughout 2015. They hope former Ram Jared Cook will provide the potency at tight end they have not had since Jermichael Finley, and they signed him to a one-year deal.

"It's a great place to play football. That's all you need to do from August to February is focus on football," Cook told 620 WTMJ's Greg Matzek on Sports Central Wednesday.

...

Cook said he was initially working on a two-year deal with the Packers before agreeing to the one-year contract.

"I'm willing to put in the work this year," he said.

"Once I get in the system and know the coaches, work with Aaron, build up a repore with him, that one year deal can turn into something else and a very special place."

It always helps when a guy WANTS to be here, and WANTS to be a big part of the team.
I see this as possibly something special.
If the team can stay healthy, and the defense keeps improving as it did last year, this could be a huge year.

I'm happy he's here, I'm optimistic he's going to contribute a lot to the passing game. We're going to get what appears to be a very motivated player who has some athleticism. That said, I'd be pretty surprised if he was a Packer next year.

He needs to put up big #'s if he wants another high $$ multi-year contract, there's few teams in the NFL with a need at TE and an elite QB. He is where he needs to be.

Also I know people are hating the idea of him being just a rental, but remember with the Packers Comp pick strategy he could turn into a 4th/5th round pick next year.

Until Eliot Wolf takes over, will the Packers sign a non-street free agent ever again? Ted is going to have a joygasm after how many tradable comp picks he'll get next year.

We can fart around and talk about Bart and the Glory days or what the team is going to be like once AR is gone or anything else and the draft will still happen. The players Uncle Teddy wants will still be selected and life will still move on even if we don't cram and prepare for the draft. 😁

Aren't next year's comp picks based on the players who GB let walk this year? Cook would be a 2018 comp wouldn't he? IF the same system is in place at that time.

Yes, this is what i meant. If Cook plays well and the Packers let him walk, although it would suck only having him for a 1 year rental atleast he in that case may net the Packers a comp pick in 2018.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
