Veteran receiver Randall Cobb helped the Green Bay Packers get under the salary cap by the start of the new league year.
According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Cobb agreed to slash his salary in 2022 by roughly $5.5 million.
The Packers needed the savings to get under the cap by Wednesday afternoon. Cobb’s cap number was going to be $9.35 million, including a base salary of $7.9 million, making the slot receiver a logical option for finding cap space.
Per Silverstein, Cobb will make around $3 million this season.
Cobb, who was reacquired by the Packers in a trade with the Houston Texans last August, caught 28 passes for 375 yards and five touchdowns over 12 games last season.
