Sources: Cobb to reunite with Rodgers on Jets

1 year ago 10

Former Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb is expected to agree to a one-year deal with the Jets, reuniting with Aaron Rodgers in New York, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Cobb, 32, played parts of 10 seasons with Rodgers and is a close friend of the star quarterback. Cobb and Rodgers famously walked off the field together after the Packers' 2022 season-ending loss to the Lions in what turned out to be their final game at Lambeau Field.

Cobb becomes the second former Packers receiver to join Rodgers on the Jets, who also signed Allen Lazard to a four-year deal earlier this offseason.

Cobb and Lazard both were on a wish list of free agents Rodgers presented in March when the four-time MVP was in discussions with the Jets.

Rodgers, who officially was traded to the Jets last week, said during a January appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he wants "the Randall Cobbs of the world -- if he wants to keep playing -- in my locker room. Guys you can win it with."

Cobb joins a talented Jets receiving corps that also includes Lazard, Offensive Rookie of the Year Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis, Mecole Hardman and Denzel Mims.

Cobb ranks fifth in Packers' history with 532 career receptions despite spending two seasons away from the team. He rejoined the Packers in 2021 after playing for the Cowboys (2019) and Texans (2020).

The Packers brought back Cobb in 2021 as a condition of Rodgers' return to the team. He has played in 25 games over the last two seasons since coming back to Green Bay.
