Wide receiver Randall Cobb signed with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, marking the end of his eight-year tenure with the Green Bay Packers.
On Wednesday, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst took to Instagram to thank Cobb for his service with the franchise.

Cobb is coming off of a 2018 campaign in which he played in just nine games due to a concussion, hauling in 38 receptions for 383 yards and a couple of touchdowns.
The 28-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Kentucky, was originally selected by the Packers in the second round (64th pick overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft.
He went on to play in 15 games during his rookie season, catching 25 passes for 375 yards and a touchdown. Cobb then broke out the following year, snaring 80 balls for 954 yards and eight scores.
The Maryville, Tn. native was then limited to just six games in 2013 due to injuries, but in 2014, he went on to have the best season of his career, posting 91 catches for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Cobb then tallied 79 receptions for 829 yards and six scores in 2015 as he began a steady decline.
The next two years, the wide out registered just over 600 yards in each season as he began to become less of a consistent threat in the Packers' passing game.
Green Bay went just 6-9-1 in 2018 and missed the playoffs, marking the first time since 2006 that the Packers had missed the postseason in back-to-back campaigns. Green Bay won just seven games in 2017, largely due to the fact that Aaron Rodgers missed most of the year with a broken collarbone.
