Remember that one time I was right?

The tight end position is going to better because Jared Cook WILL sign with the GREEN BAY PACKERS.

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE. THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE SIGNING A FREE AGENT WHO PLAYED FOR ANOTHER TEAM LAST SEASON.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

The Packers under General Manager Ted Thompson are known for their patient approach to free agency, with patient a euphemism for what seems like open disdain. But they may be close to making their annual move. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, former Rams tight end Jared Cook is in Green Bay and...

I am curious if the fans crying about the Packers not signing free agents will endorse this or find yet another way to complain. I'll get the popcorn.

Good to see. Still think they should have pursued Ladarius Green, but this will at least offer some competition for Rodgers.

Was surprised that it was a one-year deal, though. Thought Ted Thompson didn't want to "rent" players (see R. Moss discussions). But like it nonetheless.

One signing of a second tier guy isn't going to stop my "crying about the Packers not signing free agents", though. Sorry.

Found this interesting. "Ted Thompson made an offer immediately following the March 14 visit, then they waited while Cook tried to see if there was any other interest." from Rob Demovsky. So the Packers immediately pulled the trigger and it took a FREE AGENT two weeks to agree. And here I thought went down more like, you see a player, ink them and win the Super Bowl. Who knew these things happened like this?

Dwayne Allen: 4yrs $30 million
Coby Fleener: 5yrs $36.5 million
Ladarius Green: 4yrs $20 million

Pretty clear the Packers will be getting the most return on their investment.

Check this out! I wonder if he can do this with Aaron Rodgers?

I mean yeah, Ted offered it right away, but that doesn't mean it was a blockbuster amount. Glad to see it worked out though!

This is exactly the kind of deal I was hoping Cook would sign, a 1-2 year incentive laden deal so hopefully we get the best from him. I bet when the details emerge Cook will probably make only 2 - 2.5m of that money and if he does make all 3.6 it'll be because he's having a pro bowl year and we're in the super bowl. Those are incentives I can live with 😎

And Ted Thompson has started to give into the one year deal, which I believe started with CB Frank Walker in 2007, and has continued with Raji, and now guys like Perry and Cook.
