Randall Cobb Expects Trade Back To Packers

Jul 28, 2021 9:07 AM

The Green Bay Packers are on the verge of bringing back Randall Cobb in a trade with the Houston Texans, according to a source.

Cobb, who will turn 31 on Aug. 22, played his first eight seasons in Green Bay, where he was one of Aaron Rodgers' go-to receivers.

The trade no doubt will include a contract restructuring for Cobb, who was scheduled to make $8.25 million this season.
