The #Packers are trading a 2022 sixth-round pick to the #Texans for WR Randall Cobb, source said. Houston is also expected to pay $3 million of Cobb’s salary to facilitate the deal. Aaron Rodgers gets his man.

You know, the 6th round pick as compensation, ... that sounds familiar. I'm having a good "right" day. I'm guessing tomorrow is going to suck mutated monkey balls. I might stay in bed.

Some Tweeter account with a blue check said they didn't expect Randall Cobb to make the Texans roster and they fleeced the Packers into paying over $5 million of Cobb's contract.

IG: JosinaAnderson @JosinaAnderson --- Texts from Randall Cobb just now to me before taking off: "Just boarded my flight." "Yeah headed back!" "I'm still in shock! But motivated and excited to rock in (GB) again. Wheels up."

I like how excited Cobb is.

I believe the Texans contract called for Cobb to receive $8.5 million in 2021 with about $8 million of it being guaranteed upon signing. There is no way the Texans release Cobb to save 0.5 million, especially when it would take more than that to sign someone else, so the Texans would of taken a net loss by releasing Cobb. So the Texans had to keep him or trade him.

Martin is now the Ravens WR coach, but WR Rodgers and Cobb are now going to get to be on the same team and probably going to be used in the same way and so WR Rodgers will probably learning directly from Cobb to a degree.

Pulling this quote over from the bares helped GB get Cobb thread.


What does he cost? In salary and trade capital.

In the long run if it makes QB1 happy perhaps he will be more productive. If it's possible. Maybe more productive in the big games. If so he's worth a 6th round pick. ;)

It seems Cobb is really motivated! And a motivated player could be a great player.
That’s how I see it, at least.

It isn't about Cobb but the tweet came up after the Cobb "I'm coming home" tweet went out.



Crabtree has this one at the top of his twitter account. Gotta say I love it.

If it is only a sixth rounder and Houston pays 3mm, that is an excellent deal for the Packers.

Yep.

My bet is that Aaron Rodgers will make it his personal business to show the world the value of chemistry between qb's and wr's.
This is a combo far more valuable-in so many ways- than we can possibly discern off mere statistics and/ or history.

Watch. This shit is going to amaze us all.

This is official. Packers only had to give up a sixth-round pick and got the Texans to eat $3 million of his salary. I’m told the cap hit on the Packers will be slightly under $3 million.

Packers GM Brian Gutekunst says Randall Cobb is still a good player, but makes clear his return via trade is for Aaron Rodgers: "I don't think without Aaron we would be perusing this. ... This is a very important thing for Aaron, so that's why we did it."

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
