Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb formed a strong bond during their time together with the Packers. It led to Aaron Rodgers urging the Packers to reacquire Cobb in a trade from Houston Texans before the 2021 season. Fans are eagerly anticipating what this duo can accomplish on the field, together once again, since the news revealed, “Jets to sign WR Randall Cobb on a 1-year deal.”
The Jets have also added Allen Lazard, another desired receiver on Rodgers’ list, to their team with a four-year, $44 million deal. Rodgers had three potential targets on his list, including Odell Beckham Jr. and Marcedes Lewis. Beckham Jr. ultimately signed with Baltimore Ravens while Lewis remains a free agent.

In 2022, he recorded 34 receptions for 417 yards and a touchdown over 13 games, while in the season prior he had 28 receptions for 375 yards and five touchdowns over 12 games.
