Laughable signing. Douglas letting Rodgers play GM, what a cuck move. 

Better yet, what a take

What have you done Joe Douglas?  What have you done??

Not because 

Weaknesses

• Vast majority of his production came in one season.
• Rolls into his breaks with top-heavy momentum.
• Lacks suddenness for separation in and out of breaks.
• Below average top-end speed to win vertically.
• Likely to be viewed as a slot-only option.
• Lacks burst to elude after the catch.

Maybe I misread, but the thought that JD didn't draft JSN because of Cobb is patently absurd.

Oh, guess we disagree then.  I'd presume Cobb-to-Jets was in the works before the Jets draft, given this timing, and that Rodgers wanted it this way.  I'm sure that would factor into what JD would pivot to if (as happened) all the top OT's were already off the board.

If you don't think it played any part, you're entitled to that view, lord knows us fans will never know.  But why would JD draft a WR if he knew he was planning to have Wilson/Davis/Lazard/Cobb/Hardman/Mims as his 6 guys?  Unless we think JD still plans to move Davis or Mims maybe?

Ok, at least now I understand your reaction, we just disagree on this.

[DoubleDown]

Truly hope this is for vet minimum level of money with no lock to make the roster.

Right.  That is what all the folks complaining don't see.  Lazard replaces Moore.  Hardman replaces Berrios.  Cobb replaces Jeff Smith.  Most of the complaints involved us thinking Davis was a goner.  I still think they will do something with his (and Rodgers) deal, but I don't know what.  Besides, someone is going to get hurt and there will be more room.  People worried about Xavier Gipson are ridiculous.  OMG we cut the next Greg Dortch¹!

*1:  Who now is an actual NFL receiver with the Cardinals. 

[undertow]

I'm outraged the Jets signed a 5th receiver reeeeeee

Who, by the way, had a better season then Elijah Moore.

I which alternate reality would Mr. Coffee secure the roster which JD has?????  Mr. C deserved 0% benefit of the doubt; JD 75% at least.  SOJF

Sometimes you have to let old men have their creature comforts.  

Good move.

[KRL]

Jet fans will complain about anything.  A favorite WR of Rodgers is signed to the 90 MAN

ROSTER in May and the world is ending.  Ok

[Adoni Beast]

I don't get the hate since we're not paying big $, it's not a comp-pick cost free agency signing, we didn't give up any assets for him. 

He's the last guy on the depth chart, with vet experience, and makes Rodgers comfortable. Who cares?

Nothing to hate or get excited about honestly.

They have created the narrative that "JD didn't draft JSN or Kincaid because of Cobb."

It's hysterical actually. I don't understand the thinking behind it, if any. JD rejects a potential stud, 5-year starting WR, because of a cheap, one-year deal with a player soon to retire.   

Yeah right.  How about that JD didn't think as highly as this board for a slot WR and went with the player his coach coveted?  Just as likely.

Yeah, I mean there's no point to even pay attention that kind of stuff because it's so absurd.

Yes. How will we ever replace his average of 33 catches a year for 10.5 million? That’s like 300K per catch. And over 3 million per touchdown. Just can’t go into the season without THAT guy. (Note - sarcasm)

Are you serious? Who was throwing to him?

This is like Scotty McKnight all over again what a joke.

Dude is ancient and is only here to play Xbox with Aaron.

Hes a WR5. How is bringing in steady Randall Cobb as a WR5 warranting such a negative reaction?

Guarantee he has better hands than Berrios and Mims on their best days. 

[peekskill68]

So he's obviously replacing Mims. Corey Davis is arguably our 2nd best receiver.

This makes the most sense.  As bad as he's been, I bet JD can find a taker for Mims willing a conditional 6th/7th rounder...

I think it'll be an interesting bet on if Cobb winds up 5th in targets in 2023 or better.

I have a distinct feeling he'll be 4th in targets, not 5th, personally.

Wilson/Davis/Lazard/Cobb/Hardman/Mims, in that order, is how I would wager (today) that targets ends up.

You could very well be right. Although there were reports stating Hardman was brought in to be a big piece of this offense with his game breaking speed. 
 

I’ll say this much, it sure will be nice having a QB able to get the most out of his guys.

Certainly possible.  Hard to say today how the staff (or even AR) feels about these guys, beyond Wilson.

Rodgers should be a huge upgrade, no question.

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

SMH now we know why JSN was passed on.

Gotta make sure 35 year old “Cobby” is on the roster and on the field.

If Rodgers was buddies with a 40-year old FA EDGE instead of Cobb, we’d have JSN right now instead of the car jumper.

[rbstern]

Randall Cobb is still a very good WR.

That doesn’t include rbs or Tes. The ribs are going to get more passes thrown their way

If we drafted JSN, we just would've cut Corey Davis

[RevisIsland610]

32 is ancient according to some but lets throw big money at 31yo OBJ coming off a serious knee injury. Some of you guys are absolutely clueless. It's a fine signing. People getting worked up over this signing need a life. Cobb will be a 5th type receiver.

Garrett Wilson had no issues. Davis has played in 22 of 32 games and is set to make 10 million dollars and is, at best, the 5th best receiver on the roster. He’s easily dumpable. Maybe they can even get a late round pick for him. That would be a dream.

He's not Garrett Wilson. Corey Davis averaged 41 yards a game last season, 55 the year before and 70 the year before with a competent QB. Cobb averaged 32 yards a game with Aaron Rodgers. He's not going to get dumped for Cobb.

He's 32 and it had nothing to do with the JSN decision. You will complain about anything. 

[jetspenguin]

Nobody complained when Brady did it and won a ring in Tampa...but if a qb does it with the Jets............boy are we stupid. 

 

See what I did there?

One has nothing to do with the other. They are separate ideals.
