The Green Bay Packers have officially brought back Randall Cobb, with the team announcing a trade with the Houston Texans for its longtime receiver Wednesday night.

A source told ESPN that the Packers only had to give up a sixth-round pick and got the Texans to eat $3 million of Cobb's salary; the cap hit on the Packers will be slightly under $3 million.

He then signed a three-year, $27 million deal with Houston, where he played 10 games last season -- one more than he did during his final season in Green Bay, where he battled lingering hamstring problems.

Apparently, Rodgers-to-Cobb had a better ring to it than Rodgers-to-Rodgers, but it's unclear if bringing back Cobb was a condition of Rodgers' return or merely a suggestion that the Packers decided to honor.
