GREEN BAY, Wis. — Longtime Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb has agreed to a deal with the Dallas Cowboys, according to media reports.
FOX's Jay Glazer was the first to report the news, which was later confirmed by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Cobb posted this tweet Tuesday afternoon:

Cobb spent eight years in Green Bay after being taken in the 2nd round of the 2011 NFL draft. He racked up 5,524 receiving yards and 41 touchdowns over that span, including a Pro Bowl selection in 2014.
The move to let Cobb go was more or less foretold after the Packers spent money on adding four different free agents last week.
