Randall Cobb spent his first eight seasons in the NFL playing for Green Bay and the receiver returned to the Packers; in return, the Houston Texans will reportedly get a sixth-round pick in 2022.
Wide receiver Randall Cobb reunited with reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rogers and the Packers on Wednesday when Green Bay acquired him from the Houston Texans in exchange for a draft pick.
Earlier in the day, Cobb appeared to have confirmed his return to Green Bay.
He went to social networks and wrote: “I AM GOING HOME!” accompanied by an old photograph of him wearing a Packers uniform.

His return to the Packers follows Rogers’ return to the team on Tuesday. This was the first time Rogers was with Green Bay since his exit interview following the team’s 31-26 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an NFC championship match.
