Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy have both denied a recent report that portrayed their relationship as growing ugly last season
Dave Robinson Jersey , but there’s no word on whether the two of them have talked about it.Rodgers was specifically asked today whether he talked to McCarthy
after BleacherReport.com published a story saying the two of them had a strained
relationship, and Rodgers wouldn’t say.“I’m not going to answer that,” Rodgers
said.Otherwise, Rodgers is standing by his statement that the article in
question was a “smear attack” that took the word of a couple disgruntled
ex-teammates over the word of dozens of current and former teammates who respect
him.“I stand by everything I said,” Rodgers said. “I’ve heard from 100-plus
former teammates and coaches and current teammates and coaches, and that’s fun.
Especially some of the guys you haven’t heard from in a while checking in and
encouraging you.”Whether one of those guys was McCarthy, we do not know. One of
the Packers’ best receivers over the past decade has left to join an NFC

sign with Cowboys, per reportsMike DiNovo-USA TODAY SportsRandall Cobb’s
eight-year tenure with the Green Bay Packers has come to a close. On
Tuesday
Reggie White Jersey , the veteran wide receiver has agreed to a deal to join the Dallas Cowboys, Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer reports. According to ESPN’s Adam
Schefter, Cobb will sign a one-year contract worth $5 million.Cobb joins a
Cowboys receiving corps that just saw Cole Beasley leave in free agency. Cobb
should slide in as the top slot receiver in the offense, giving quarterback Dak
Prescott a reliable target on short and intermediate throws.As for the Packers,
Cobb’s departure opens up a considerable amount of targets in what projects as a
pass-heavy offense. Rising second-year wideout Equanimeous St. Brown saw
meaningful action as a slot receiver during the second half of 2018 and could
continue to develop in that role. The team might also target a receiver during
the upcoming draft to add competition for Cobb’s vacated spot.A second-round
draft pick in 2011, Cobb quickly became one of the most important members of the
Packers offense and special teams. In his first regular-season game, he returned
a kickoff for a touchdown and added another as a receiver. Cobb emerged as a
featured weapon during his second season, falling just 46 yards short of the

Jaire Alexander Jersey ,000. Injuries cost Cobb much of his third season. Still, he returned to make the biggest play of the year, a game-winning,
division-clinching touchdown in the final minute of Week 17.Cobb went on to post
his first 1,000-yard season as a receiver in 2014, earning a Pro Bowl nod in the
process. The Packers rewarded Cobb with a four-year, $40 million contract the
following offseason.Cobb’s productivity waned following his breakout campaign.
Injuries cost him 11 games over the past four years and, in the case of a
significant shoulder injury in 2015
Josh Jackson Jersey , severely limited him in others. He never again recorded more than 79 receptions or 829 yards in a season, and his yearly touchdown
output dipped significantly over that stretch. Those reasons help explain why
the Packers let one of quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ favorite pass catchers depart
in free agency.Barring a future return to Green Bay, Cobb finishes his Packers
career with 5,524 receiving yards and 41 touchdowns. He also produced another
352 yards on 59 carries as well as three scores as a return man.
