Rodgers was a bit broken up about Cobb’s departure and posted a heartfelt message to his now former teammate on Instagram.
“I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged…And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone. I guess I just miss my friend.” #friendship #teammates #brothers #Packers
Packers fans honored Cobb by making this amazing mixtape of his best highlights during his tenure with Green Bay.
