Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers continued to praise Randall Cobb as a football player and suggested that he will be staring in the slot.

Rodgers personally lobbied for Cobb, so he likely knew first hand that the former Packer still had gas left in the tank. Rodgers suggested that Cobb is ticketed for the slot role while noting that he is happy with the top four receivers in Davante Adams, Cobb, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Allen Lazard. With Adams locked into a near every snap role, the Packers could rotate Lazard and MVS on the outside, with MVS stepping into the slot when Cobb needs a breather. Rodgers also noted that while Amari Rodgers has had his moments, he has also had his rookie hiccups. This suggests that he may be brought along slowly and that the top four he mentioned should all play meaningful roles this season. 64th in our wide receiver rankings, Randall Cobb, could provide a strong return on his current ADP if he can carry this momentum into the season.

After practice Wednesday, Packers QB Aaron Rodgers told reporters that being in year three of Matt LaFleur's system has really made a difference in his preseason performance, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Rodgers said he is more efficient and not grinding through changes over the offseason like he had in previous years.

Improved performance is always positive and the last things the remaining NFL teams need to know is how set Rodgers is for 2021. Despite the loss of GIF-able Rodgers moments when he is frustrated, comfort with the offensive scheme could help prevent Rodgers's efficiency from 2020 crater.

Rob Demovsky of ESPN noted on Twitter Wednesday that Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling is easily having his best camp as a Packer. Demovsky later tweeted that QB Aaron Rodgers hit MVS for a 33-yard touchdown during their two-minute drill in a joint practice against the New York Jets.

For all his faults, MVS has remained within arm's reach of Aaron Rodgers's trust circle and appears to have cemented a coveted spot inside it. The Packers have a gaping hole at WR2 behind Davante Adams, and the field-stretching wideout looks to be the favorite to secure a large portion of receiver snaps.

Peter King told Fox's Colin Cowherd if Aaron Rodgers doesn't want to play for the Packers after this season, he can request a trade, but can't demand where he wants to be traded. Rodgers can also play out the contract for the next two years for Green Bay and become a free agent in 2023 at the age of 39. King said Rodgers would be what Tom Brady was at the age of 42.

At that point, Rodgers can play wherever he wants. King said it's possible Rodgers could then sign a free agent contract with the Packers, and play out his career. King said Rodgers isn't "kicking and screaming" right now, even off the record. Rodgers seems to be playing in the moment and hasn't made a decision about 2022, mostly because he can't according to King, because Rodgers doesn't know what the 2021 season will bring.

Packers QB Jordan Love, who had a clean MRI on his shoulder this weekend, is not expected to practice today, source said.

Rapoport said Tuesday is a walk-through for the Packers, so it will be a few days off for Love.

The Green Bay Packers are not treating rookie 3rd-round pick Amari Rodgers like a rookie according to Tom Silverstein of PackersNews.com. "Almost every practice, Rodgers gets a considerable amount of snaps and a good portion of them are with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback," wrote Silverstein.

“He will be more in the slot, and then we'll use him doing some of the jet sweep stuff and whatnot,” Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said. “But I'm excited about where he could go. And we got a very, very, very competitive room."

Rodgers will have competition in the slot with Randall Cobb back in town, but Cobb is helping mentor Rodgers. The two are connected by Rodgers' dad Tee Martin, who coached Cobb in college. Silverstein is a locked in reporter and is watching Amari handle first-team snaps daily. What is unknown if this puts Rodgers in a snaps heat with Cobb, or help lock Rodgers in to a larger role than Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard and company.

A welcome-back gift for Aaron Rodgers: the Texans are trading former Packers’ WR Randall Cobb back to Green Bay, per Randall Cobb. Cobb has been a longtime favorite of Rodgers.

Randall Cobb spent his first eight seasons in Green Bay as Aaron Rodgers' main slot weapon. The trade is great news for Rodgers and Cobb, but not so great for rookie Amari Rodgers, who was assumed to be taking on the slot role in Green Bay in 2021. Consider Cobb a WR3/4.

Aaron Rodgers wasn’t present at the start of the 8:30 a.m. team meeting to kick off #Packers minicamp, I’m told. As expected, the NFL MVP is now officially a holdout.

Jordan Love should function as the team's starter during this week's minicamp. If Aaron Rodgers continues to hold out, Davante Adams and Aaron Jones' ADP will take a hit.

Matt LaFleur reiterates Aaron Rodgers will be here "for a long time" as #Packers QB: "Is that a trick question? Absolutely. There's no doubt about it. You're talking about the guy who's going to win the MVP of the league. We're not in this position without him."

The Rams were allegedly turned down when inquiring about the 37-year old QB last week, and this statement also makes it appear that Aaron Rodgers will be in a Packer uniform in 2021. Hopefully, they make some solid draft choices in April to help the projected 2020 league MVP.

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is getting another weapon back in time for Week 11, as wide receiver Allen Lazard was activated off injured reserve Tuesday.

Lazard missed the the Packers’ last six games after undergoing core muscle surgery in early October. Over the first three games of the season, Lazard caught 13 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns. In Week 3 against New Orleans, Lazard hauled in six receptions for a career-best 146 yards and a score. Lazard should be good to go for Week 11 against the Colts, but it's unclear if he'll be on a snap count. He should eventually get back his WR2 role but it may be best to wait and see on him in fantasy lineups his first week back.
