I guess Cook wasn't proof enough.

I wish him the best but he was a big disappointment for a 2nd round pick.

Kendrick's couldn't hang on to the ball in warm weather, wonder how he'll do with icicles on his hands ?

I guess as long as Green Bay doesn't ask him to block or catch it's a good signing.

Packers sign tight end Lance Kendricks

Another day, another free agent tight end in Green Bay.

The Packers are signing free agent tight end Lance Kendricks today, after signing free agent tight end Martellus Bennett yesterday.

Kendricks was cut by the Rams this week. He caught 50 passes for 499 yards last season.

Packers G.M. Ted Thompson is known for eschewing free agency, but this year he clearly prioritized improving at the tight end position, and now he’s done so twice.

Although Aaron Rodgers had lobbied for the Packers to re-sign Jared Cook, Rodgers will surely be pleased that the Packers have found two new tight ends who should bolster Green Bay’s passing game.

Lolol.. so the packers stay tight with their wallet, then open up to sign two tight ends with awful hands and who can barely block. Sorry Packers fans, but you'll be sorely disappointed with Kendricks. Should've went thru this year's draft for another TE.

He's like second all time among Ram TEs in catches, yards, TDs.

Joe Klopfenstein was a disappointment.

Yeah I don't really understand the hate for Kendricks. Was he great? No but he was our 2nd best wr on a terrible team.

I don't like the term "hate" but there certainly was a distaste for a player that was paid like a top TE who didn't perform anything like one

Looks like they're following the Patriots path to success:
Hoomanawanui, Mulligan, Danny Fells.

:rolllaugh:

Well played.

Was he paid like a top te?

 

[dieterbrock]

Was he paid like a top te?

4 year 18 mill extension was pretty high when he signed it.

You think GB doesn't know who and what he is ??? Seems they think a new place might help...They had some reason for it...Don't know what is was, but they had one...

Joe Klopfenstein was a disappointment.

Lol I think Cook's the first so that's not really saying much

 

[OldSchool]

Was he paid like a top te?

He was last year the 13th highest paid TE in the league. He wasn't the 13th best TE in the league was he?

Kendricks needs to rededicate himself in the blocking game. Going to the Packers could help his motivation and concentration. Bennett was an underachiever but, he has become a decent receiving TE. Let's see how it works out for the Packers.
