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."

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.
dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.
beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.
Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?
