I believe it was reported that they are working towards a long term deal with Cook. I sure hope how working with Rodgers and being treated as a huge part of this offense means this deal will get done. He has made a huge difference to this team since returning from injury.

I believe it... I'm not sure Rodgers knew he was going to target Cook or not, but Rodgers seems more comfortable out of the pocket and he had scrambled out of the pocket to the right so often the Cowboys were expecting it... so I believe Rodgers purposely had a scramble to his left called to trick the pass rush, and told all the targets to go to different routes to the left, giving him maximum number of potential targets and he would just nail whom ever he thought was best open, and that happened to be Cook.

That's just my guess... they might not have a play call for that.

But it’s hard to kind of put a name necessarily on a play where we have a roll-out with a clear-out and everybody else kind of running to the left. Didn’t exactly have a name for that.

That would make it a mini Hail Mary, of sorts, as it's typically not smart having everyone congregating in the same area. Makes the throw and catch that much more special.

Rodgers called it school yard and he and beast were head of the class.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

4 years. It's not like MLB were most contracts are guaranteed for their lifetime. It gives Cook more security. It spreads out the signing bonus money and eases the cap hit. If after 3 years they don't like the return they are getting then release him.

Edit, Ted Thompson said this about Jared Cook just the other day.

I don’t know that I ever expected a dramatic play like I got the other night. I’m not sure I’m that good a scout, but he’s a professional football player, and I mean that in a complimentary way, and he always was. The people he worked with that I talked to expressed those sentiments, and he’s been that. He’s uncharacteristically missed quite a bit of time, and he hasn’t in his history, so I don’t know if I need to get on him about that.
