He was hurt and GB was getting dysfunctional. A major upgrade over the slow rapper.*All* our returning TEs and WRs beat Cobb in yards per target last year. Even Rico and Noah.
He gets 40+ yards per game, but the efficiency per target was poor, and even his yardage totals have been consistently sliding for years.
People are talking like he's a lock for the team, and I don't see it in these numbers. He looks like a Nolan Carroll. We signed thinking to cover ourselves, but don't have to stick with him if other guys are panning out.
I'm hoping they get a discount out of Hurns and use him as our slot possession WR.

we need a complimentary receiver, not another #1 at this point. if he can be a good #3 and gallop steps up, no harm no foul.*All* our returning TEs and WRs beat Cobb in yards per target last year. Even Rico and Noah.

Cobb and Witten...aren’t they mostly here for a veteran presence on third down?
That's a big part of it, and also to improve the abysmal red zone numbers. Nobody should forget that we were among the worst in the league in that area and it was a key reason for the team's struggles. More than anything else, that's what Garrett and Moore are tasked with changing and improving.
Having two seasoned vets in Cobb and Witten to help the young quarterback is a nice start. As is getting your All-Pro center back in the middle.
Plus Martin being fully healthy.
I'd still rather have Cobb than Beasley. I feel Cobb is a threat to the defense. Beasley I always felt the defense knew he wouldn't beat them deep
This is indicative of usage, more than anything. Cole Beasley wins every time against man coverage, Cobb doesn't.His yards/reception the past 4 years are better than Beasley (11.0 vs 10.3) and better than Witten (11.0 vs 9.7).
Small Sample Size
Rico and Jarwin don't have enough catches for yards/reception to be meaningful.
Outside WR vs Slot WR
Cobb/ Beasley are slot WRs. Slot WRs have lower yards/reception than outside WRs.
Cobb was much better than Beasley earlier in his career and his "declining" years have still been better than both Beasley's career yards/reception and Beasley's past 4 years.
Beasley (past 4 years):
yards, receptions, average
2355, 228, 10.3
Cobb (past 4 years):
2675, 243, 11.0
Beasley (career):

2M salary is guaranteed plus he got a 2M signing bonus.I thought it was $2 million guaranteed for Cobb.
