The Packers and Texans are discussing a trade that would bring Randall Cobb back to the Packers (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero). This comes at the request of Aaron Rodgers, who returned to the team on Tuesday morning.

The Texans signed Cobb to a three-year, $27MM contract in 2020 under the Bill O’Brien administration. So, after picking up slot receiving Anthony Miller over the weekend, they’re probably open to dealing the veteran.
Cobb, 31 in August, is set to carry a $8.25MM cap hit this year. The Packers can probably make it work now that Rodgers has agreed to a reworked deal.
The Packers drafted Clemson wide receiver Amari Rodgers in the third round, but Rodgers still wants his old pal back. Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, and Devin Funchess are also in the mix for Green Bay.
Cobb played eight seasons with the Packers, totaling 41 receiving touchdowns and more than 5,500 yards.
Aaron can pick up his salary. Love Cobb but he’s not worth that anymore.
Maybe they’ll make Rodgers GM next
Only if GM stands for Gatoraid Monitor.
Ha
Almost spelled it right.
Why trade? He’ll be cut. There is not intention of Houston paying him that amount of money when he’s only started 14 or so games the last 3 years combined.
Maybe a trade where nothing is owed if he doesn’t make the roster or play a certain % of offensive plays. But a reduced salary should be an expectation!
Because Houston now knows he has trade value.
Cobb is only two years removed from a season with 828 yards (4th most in his career) and 15.1 ypc (highest of his career). Maybe Rodgers thinks there’s still something there that he can tap into.
Cobb hasn’t shown much lately. Rodgers must be looking for a drinking buddy.
So when the Packers don’t win the SB again this season, what will be Aaron’s excuse?
He’ll blame the Pack for not bringing back Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson.
Why would Rodgers need an excuse? There are more than 1600 other players who won’t be getting the ring. Do each of those need an excuse too?
No, just him cause he’s the one with all the histrionics.
He doesn’t NEED an excuse, but I’m sure he will still use one..
Of course not but how many of those 1600 players have been to the NFC championship game three of the last five years only to fall short? That’s why he needs excuses
I’m certainly no fan of Rodgers but any player who is a slam dunk for the HOF doesn’t need to be making excuses.
As some day it may happen that a scapegoat must be found
He’s got a little list — He’s got a little list
Of offensive players or defenders who might bounced from title town,
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!
Sure seems like a waste with the Packers drafting a player in the 3rd round who is supposed to have serious talent at the same position. Sure hope it isn’t going to cost $8 million plus for phase 1 of the “kiss Aaron’s arrogant entitled ass” season. I sure hope they don’t let this guy run the team this year, cause you know he’ll still demand a trade at the end of it. And then he’ll demand what team they can trade him to or threaten to retire if they don’t. Biggest prima donna in the history of any sport…at least in my 50 years. Anyone wanna bet his marriage doesn’t last 5 years?
Are you still upset about the way he wears his hair, KCJ?
I don’t recall you saying it was a waste when they traded up in the first round to draft a QB when they already had one WHO DOES HAVE SERIOUS TALENT and several good years left. That QB they drafted then signed a $12 million dollar deal with a $6.5 million dollar signing bonus. Seems to me that money could have been spent by n something much more important to the current success of a team that was one game away from the Super Bowl.
Update: San Francisco just said Lance, the guy they traded UP for in the last draft as they sit literally ONE player away from a Super Bowl, is a confirmed backup for at least a year. But that is SO much different than what GB did at a FAR cheaper draft cost, right?
Bring back a guy to mentor a young slot WR…yeah what a dumb idea.
besides, cobb always had great hands. he will be a weapon inside.

So adams couldn’t play that role? Come on now
Does Adams play the slot? Serious question.
He can play both but my point of adams was veteran leadership.

Maybe if you post one more time…right?
