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

I would, but I guess I'm saying that I think he won't be available at the end of the 4th. If he gets healthy and works out, I think he'll be a later riser. I think he'll get some late steam. The tape is impressive. I see a little Travis Kelce in the kid.

Harv might be a GM.

Great workout today for my man Tyler Higbee in front of 6 TE coaches and a GM. "Travis Kelce clone"-NFL exec

Or perhaps an agent quoting himself as a fake GM.

I don't get the love. He looks like a lumbering long-strider, not a speed threat.

[run pMc]

He's playing for a contender with a likely HOF QB on a 1 year contract. If that doesn't motivate him, he's _______.

I liked the highlight of Higbee I saw. I thought he looked like an oversized WR, but if you want a big speed guy down the seam he'd be a good fit. FWIW, I thought Henry was a bit lumbering too.

[Pugger]

Evidently he is giddy about the prospect of playing with Rodgers. Can't say that I blame him.

The cautionary things I have seen about Cook are two fold:
1. - He had the highest drop rate among all TEs last year.

What about previous years? I saw stats on this, but it looked like 2015 was his worst or at least second worst year for drops.

I had a vague antecedent up there. The "he" I meant was Higbee. He doesn't look like a burner.

T least Cook is doing and saying the right things:

Cook admitted signing with the Packers was among the most important decisions of his career. He studied the offense, dug into coach Mike McCarthy’s history.

"I just want to come in and just work hard and build a rapport with the quarterback and the rest of the players on the offense and just get better. I’m still fairly young in my career, so there’s still time for me to grow and learn and become a better player. I think that’s what I’m the most excited about, is being in a place where I can grow and get better as a person and as a player.

“I know what Coach McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers and Edgar Bennett and all those guys in this offense bring to the table for me and for the players to succeed in Green Bay as a whole. So it’s an opportunity that I intend to take the most out of.”

I've had it with you and your vague antecedents. He can't stand it anymore.

Is there a picture of Richard Rodgers sweating bullets anywhere? Signing Cook might just be the motivation for him to get his Mariah Carey thighs in shape.

The NFL is a fickle mistress.

You go for 58 catches, 510 yards and 8 TDs and everyone wants you replaced.

So is Mariah Carey, or so I've heard

When was the last time you saw Mariah's thighs?

P90X is taken, but DickRod can always adopt Daily Burn.

You know better than to ask me a question like that!

I thought she only dressed like this now:
