The Dallas Cowboys signed a key piece of their offense in Randall Cobb and coach Jason Garrett think he's going to be really good for them this upcoming season. All the focus this offseason has been about Amari Cooper getting a contract extension, but the team lost Cole Beasley and he had been a solid piece for the team for many years, and they knew they needed to find a replacement.
The Green Bay Packers decided not to sign Cobb to an extension, so he signed a one year, $5 million prove-it deal with the Cowboys.
A big reason that Garrett is so excited for Cobb to be on the Cowboys is because of just how many ways the team can use him.
“Randall Cobb is someone that we have been trying to cover for 7-8 years now,” Garrett said via 247 Sports. “He had such a big impact on what they were doing up in Green Bay, they used him a lot of different ways. Inside, outside, they handed him the ball, he lined up in the backfield. Just a lot of that versatility we feel like can have an impact on our offense. From afar, you feel like you know guys, and he struck me as someone who was just a real pro. Knew the game, understood the game, played with great poise.”
Cobb dealt with injuries last season, but still was able to finish the year catching 38 passes for 383 yards and two touchdowns. As long as he stays healthy, he should have another productive year with the Cowboys.
