After joining ex-Packers teammate Allen Lazard in New York, Aaron Rodgers will welcome another Green Bay face to the Jets.

According to ESPNwill sign wide receiver Randall Cobb to a one-year deal, reuniting Rodgers with one of his favorite targets from his 18 seasons with the Packers.

He told Pat McAfee on his eponymous show that he just gave “glowing” reports about some of his former teammates to the Jets.

Nevertheless, he now has two of his favorite targets from New York’s Green Bay.

Lazard, who signed a four-year, $44 million deal with the Jets before Rodgers was officially traded there, played five seasons under the star quarterback after joining as an undrafted free agent in 2018.

Rodgers was finally dealt to the Jets last week after stating on March 15 that he wanted to play in New York.

Lazard posted a career-high in receiving yards last season with 788, along with six touchdowns.

In addition, backup quarterback Tim Boyle and tackle Billy Turner moved from Green Bay to New York, while former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett took the same job in New York.

Cobb will turn 33 when the season opens and will join a packed receiver room that also includes Offensive Rookie of the Year Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis and Mecole Hardman Jr.
