The Green Bay Packers have a tight end, once again. Sure, they have one every season by virtue of the roster and depth chart, but the Packers and their fans have become accustomed to big contributions from the tight end since the early 1990's. General manager Ted Thompson signed Jared Cook during the offseason in hopes of giving quarterback Aaron Rodgers another weapon and that said weapon would also create more opportunities for the other weapons around him. So far, it appears as though that may be exactly what Cook adds to this team.
Cook caught four passes for 54 yards against the San Francisco 49ers this past Friday and appears to have etched himself a key role in the offense.
