The lengthy, athletic tight end should remain in Green Bay past this season. Jared Cook says he hopes to remain with the Green Bay Packers beyond the 2016 season, and it appears he will get his wish. According to a league source that spoke with the Green Bay Press Gazette's Ryan Wood , there is an expectation for Cook to re-sign with the team after the season.
In his first year with the Packers, Cook has established himself as a key piece of the passing game. Over his last three games, the eighth-year tight end has averaged over four receptions and 59 yards and has hauled in at least one pass of more than 20 yards in each outing. Green Bay hasn't had a tight end with both his size and athleticism since a neck injury ended the career of Jermichael Finley in 2013. As such, it makes sense for the two sides to work on a new deal.
Keeping Cook would also allow the Packers to develop a younger tight end at their own pace. The 2017 NFL Draft possesses more top-end talent at the position than any recent year, though much of it comes in the form of underclassmen. As such, the Packers could select one without immediately subjecting him to a starter's workload.
In 10 games, Cook caught 30 passes for 377 yards and one score. His 12.6 yards-per-reception average ranked third on the team among pass catchers with at least 20 receptions.

Backman gets one more hear to prove he can get with it. Also excited to see what Cajuste can do next uear. But imo that doesn't stop Ted (or Eliot!?) from taking someone in he draft if they fall to us. Takes a year (or two) to develop at this position anyway.

Also like what I've seen recently from RR. Dude got some yac, did some inline blocking. Seems like he's competent over the middle. Decent target.

Packers also grabbed Beau Sandland onto the PS, after the Panthers released him from their PS... Panthers drafted him with the second last draft pick.

Also Cook showing so well, wants me to add another great talented TE... and for the up coming draft I keep looking at TE O.J. Howard (Alabama) ... he is one of the better blocking TE prospects and has a all the physical potential to be great in the passing game as well, but he's raw and needs more reps there since Alabama uses their TE to block more. He's has the physical potential to be better than Cook (though it seems like TEs haven't been developing nearly as well as they should from recent 1st round TE draft picks).

Lengthy? Who describes a human being as "lengthy"? Was that a typo for "lanky" that somehow slipped past the editor? Because as a synonym for "tall" it's just wrong.
