Former Green Bay Packers receiver Randall Cobb is expected to sign a one-year deal with the Jets and join long-time teammate and friend Aaron Rodgers in New York, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Cobb, a second-round pick of the Packers in 2011, played 10 seasons with Rodgers in Green Bay, catching 532 passes for 6,316 yards and 47 touchdowns over 130 games.
Cobb’s deal with the Packers voided in February. His contract left behind $1,391,668 in dead money as a result of past restructurings.
The Packers gave Cobb’s No. 18 uniform to undrafted free agent rookie Malik Heath.
Cobb, who turns 32 in August, caught 62 passes over two seasons after returning to Green Bay at Rodgers’ request in 2021. The two teammates walked off the field together after the Packers’ season-ending loss to the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field in January.
Cobb joins Allen Lazard, Tim Boyle and Billy Turner as former Packers to sign with the Jets this offseason.
