Cowboys to visit with WR Randall Cobb

[SoupcanSam]

I know I’m just the resident cowboy hater, but this guy is Allen hurns 2.0. Super JAG that couldn’t even ascend JAGism with Aaron Rodgers throwing him the football.

Have to disagree. Cobb for years was always one of Rodgers favorite targets. Before Adams, you always thought of Cobb when it came to the packers and their wideouts.

No where near a JAG.

He will replace Hurns. If he can still play..

 

[Risen Star]

People don't know what they're talking about. He only played in 9 games last year and had 38 catches. You have to go back to 2013 to find another season with less than 60 catches and he only played 6 games that year.

He would easily be the 3rd best WR on this roster. It's not even close.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Cobb can play, an upgrade over Beasley IMO.

 

[Risen Star]

Between Witten and Cobb you always have a safety valve on the field for a QB who needs one.

Stephen Jones is the grandmother that pulls out her purse and wallet to give the kid a quarter to get something from the store and has no clue why the kid is incredulous.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Starting slot WR day 1. The reason why GB didn’t keep him is because they were paying him 10 million a year.

 

[GMO415]

Cobb is only 28. Even if he doesn't do much, this is low risk.

Funny how everyone screams that we need to sign FA's but when we do, it's 'No, not that FA.'

We need impact players, not another injured chump

 

[Risen Star]

And let's be honest, I guarantee he raps better than Beasley.

 

[HungryLion]

Between Witten and Cobb you always have a safety valve on the field for a QB who needs one.

Agreed. Cobb if healthy is an easy solution for slot WR and brings playoff experience.

Cowboys should definitely sign him.

 

[Idgit]

This would be a good move. Slot guy who can play some outside. The only issue is that he’s another guy with congenital hamstrings.

The "injured chump" missed 7 games last year and 3 games over the 4 years before that.

 

[glimmerman]

Didn’t know he was still in the league. Didn’t he used to play with farve.

 

[Alexander]

People don't know what they're talking about. He only played in 9 games last year and had 38 catches. You have to go back to 2013 to find another season with less than 60 catches and he only played 6 games that year.

He would easily be the 3rd best WR on this roster. It's not even close.

He might stunt the progress of Cedric Wilson.

 

[Nightman]

Don't listen to the fake fans. This would be a great addition. A veteran safety valve for a QB who struggles to throw the ball down the field.

Waaaaay better player than that stiff Allen Hurns.

Doesn't he only have to be better than NBrown and CWilson?

 

[WillieBeamen]

Poor Randall. Has to go from playing with the Goat at Qb to the Woat

No where near a JAG.

I always saw him as a number 3 receiver who was thrust into the starting lineup because Ted Thompson was stingy. Go look at his stats, they’re unbelievably pedestrian. Basically what you’d expect Terrence Williams to do if he had the most gifted qb in nfl history throwing him the football.

He essentially had 1 solid year, his contract year. How convenient.

Otherwise he’s basically a run of the mill slot receiver making 10m$ a year for some odd reason.

 

[Carson]

Sign dude this now.

He was banged up can get still be a great slot player.

He likely does not sign IMO

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Seems exactly what the go for with their free agents. Serviceable and affordable if they need to roll with him, but not a progress stopper if they get a good player in the draft. He may still have something left in the tank for the right price.

 

[Risen Star]

Doesn't he only have to be better than NBrown and CWilson?

Exactly. His competition isn't Cooper and Gallup. It's Hurns, Brown and Wilson.

It's a clear upgrade.
