    NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Packers are "set to sign" free agent TE Jared Cook.

    per rotoworld...

    NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Packers are "set to sign" free agent TE Jared Cook.

    USA Today's Tom Pelissero reports the deal has been done since last week. Cook will take his
    physical and sign the contract Monday. Coach Mike McCarthy spoke at the Owners Meetings about the need for a "big man" to run down the middle of the field in the passing game. Cook has both the size and athletic ability to be that player for the Packers, but he has never been able to take advantage of his physical gifts on a consistent basis. He has also never played with Aaron Rodgers. Cook will be an interesting late-round name in drafts this summer.

    Well, we'll see if AR cures what ails him. Mainly his inconsistent hands.

    ...though Finley had that issue too at times.

      This thread must be wrong. TT doesn't sign players like this. RonWolfGOAT told me so.
      But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

        In order for balance to be restored in the universe, one of our players will soon die. The Packers were never meant to sign free agents...

            Clearly this means Ted has been kidnapped and replaced by a replicant. Someone get a Voight-Kampff machine over to Lombardi Avenue.

            Though it is an even-numbered year ...

              Still not a UFA!

              SOUND?

              For Jared Cook & #Packers, it's a 1-year deal worth $3.6M, source said. Hope is, as with FAs this time of year, to kill it & sign long-term

              RENTAL!

              #Packers offered Jared Cook a 2-year deal. They settled on a 1-year pact that maxes out at $3.65 million with incentives, source said.

                Why bother? He only has a year or two left. His inception date was 2014 after all (Peppers signing).

                  This does not count as a "real" free agent signing, as Cook was cut...

                  C'mon, you know the drill by now.

                  I do hope this guy can help. Maybe now MM can keep that TE screen in the arsenal, if this guy has any shake and bake at all, or can at least get past that first 190 lb defensive back...

                  I wonder how fast he is.

                  Since the draft looked awful for a middle-of-the-field-stretching tight end, this looks like a good signing particularly this year.

                      This is pretty good. We get an athletic TE on a one year prove it deal. If he gets his act together and plays anywhere near his potential he could be the missing link this offense hasn't had since Finley. If he doesn't he's gone in 2017.

                        I would say this also pretty much guarantees that Quarless is not coming back. We use his remaining salary towards Cook

                          Apparently he talked to Rodgers late last week. Cook’s goal was to land with best team and QB. Mission accomplished.

                          If he really was a leader, he would have talked KC into taking the Packers pick for Tony Gonzalez.

                            I would say so. Now, between the rookie pool and the injury-replacement pool, that's about it for signings. Plus, they might want to carry some over now in case they want to sign some of their many free agents-to-be next offseason.

                              So I'm confused, does this count as a Free Agent signing or not?
