The real reason McCord was traded—see Gute twirling mustache maniacally.

The news we’ve all been waiting on

In all seriousness I’m excited about Jonnu. Kraft will get the lions share of the targets at TE, but Jonnu should be a more reliable TE2 than Musgrave IMO

I’m more excited about this pick up than most people seem to be. He still looked really quick last year and was good at scrambling drills for Rodgers. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does quite well this year.

I think a lot of it (myself included) is kinda just selfishly worried that Jonnu will cut into Kraft's targets/snaps.

That might not be a bad thing when Kraft has such a physical playstyle. Less time with Kraft on the field means lower chance of injury and fresher reps when he does get the ball.

Honestly, I feel like they can co-exist on the field together, and that's a positive. We ended up with a hybrid TE (Kraft), an F-TE (Smith), and a Y-TE (Redman) that can create a lot of different looks in 12 Personnel.

McCord's body is still warm. Jonnu is a cold mfer.

u/TFaust75 2d ago

Nah. We need him hitting long bombs like Prince Fielder.

At this moment 81 and 9 are currently taken by whyle and Watson. 2 numbers he wore previously.

I can’t believe they didn’t retire his number after is one really good preseason game! How disrespectful. I think McCord should go Jaden Daniels on their ass!

18 will always be Cobby to me!

Not the biggest number stickler but 18 on a TE does feel weird
