osubuckeyeman36 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Trey Wingo reporting that Aaron Rodger's returning to Green Bay rides on the Packers trading for former teammate Randall Cobb. Houston has Cobb under contract for 2 more seasons. I guess this is one of the show me you really want me back demands? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Cobb was great with the Pack. Reliable option that A-Rod trusted in certain situations. Cobb may be in his twilight years football-wise, but he's still light years ahead of what Rodgers had to work with last year. MVS and Lazard and guys like that were unreliable and weren't really chain-movers anyways. If the Pack had him last year they would have fared better I think. It'll be interesting to see what happens here. Texans could really hold their feet to the fire! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 A domino effect happens here if Cobb is traded. Anthony Miller becomes WR2 for the Texans, or maybe Nico Collins moves up the chain. MVS, Lazard, and maybe Richard Rodgers all lose value; it's not like MVS or Lazard had a lot of value to being with. This can get interesting.

chester Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Davante is already upset. Cobb would definitely have to take a pay cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not look up Cobb's breakdown of what he is owned but the report I read earlier said Cobb's contract was for 3 years 27 million and he is going into year 2 of that deal. It's pretty rich for a player Cobb's age and injury history. Again, I did not look at the breakdown so there can be something in that contract that makes that 27 million look like big money but really has an out or whatnot. You know contracts sometimes look good on paper then you read the details and it's not that great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an out after this year, about $2M in dead cap with about $18M having been paid for the 2 years. Also the first 2 years were guaranteed. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/houston-texans/randall-cobb-7783/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osubuckeyeman36 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Looks like Aaron is restructuring his contract. Some cap relief for the Packers. They can afford Cobb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stethant Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I mean does this make any sense? It's like that scene in Guardians of the Galaxy where the raccoon asks someone to bring him "that guy's eye" for no reason other than he thinks it'll be funny. I have a hard time seeing Cobb as the missing piece in GB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time seeing Cobb as the missing piece in GB. Yup, and had Aaron Rodgers restructured his contract a few years ago instead of crying about Jordan Love he'd probably have a stud WR opposite of Adams right now. What the hell kind of difference is Cobb going to make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I would have paid that much. I know hindsight is 20/20 but Cobb seemed pretty avg back then to me. Rodgers can make a lot of guys look good.

ShaneKibler Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I read Houston is paying 3 mill of the salary too. Why would you do that for a 6th round pick? Everyone heard Rogers wanted him back. I was expecting a 4th just because what is GB gonna do? Typical Houston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when nobody cares in Houston, why bother actually trying to really win a trade, they just saved the owner 6 million and got a 6th. 38 rec 440 yards last season on less them 50 targets.
