    Packers free agency rumors: Green Bay tried to trade for Jared Cook last season, per report

    Ted Thompson wanted Jared Cook last year.

    The Green Bay Packers have a visit scheduled with free agent Jared Cook, but, at least according to one account, the team has dabbled with the tight end before. Last season, the Packers attempted to acquire Cook last season prior to the NFL trade deadline, reports ESPN’s Rob Demovsky.

    Green Bay underperformed offensively in 2015, and the lack of a field-stretching receiver over the middle played a large role in those struggles. Apparently, the team’s management agreed, and tried to pry Cook away from the St. Louis Ramsmidway through the year. Ultimately, no deal materialized, but the trade discussions illustrate how the Packers feel about the tight end’s ability to impact the game.

    Unlike Packers starter Richard Rodgers, Cook has plenty of speed to burn. He ran a 4.50 40-yard dash during his workout at the NFL Scouting Combine in 2009. Even at age 28, Cook offers a dimension otherwise absent from Green Bay’s tight-end group.

    Inconsistency at a high cost.

    And, attacking the qb on the sideline.

    Having covered that ground…I think they just meant downfield speed.
