Randall Cobb joins SEC Network as an analyst but says he's 'not officially retired' from the NFL

Former Pro Bowl receiver Randall Cobb will join the SEC Network as a college football studio analyst, but the 13-year NFL veteran says he’s “not officially retired” from a standout...

Begins broadcasting career ESPN announced Thursday that Cobb will join SEC Network as a college football studio analyst for the 2024 season.

Impact In his statement in ESPN's press release, Cobb didn't explicitly say that he has retired from professional football, though his entry into sports broadcasting likely signals that his playing days are over. After joining former Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers in New York last offseason, Cobb proceeded to suit up in 11 of 17 games during his lone season with the Jets, tallying five catches for 39 yards and a touchdown on 17 targets. After the 33-year-old slot receiver was often a healthy inactive during the second half of the season and struggled to produce when he suited up, he presumably drew limited interest in free agency this offseason. Assuming Cobb's playing days are officially done, he'll wrap up his 13-year NFL career with a 630-7,624-54 receiving line on 909 targets to go with 364 yards on 63 carries and two punt and one kickoff returns for touchdowns over 166 regular-season games with the Packers, Cowboys, Texans and Jets. He made his lone Pro Bowl as a member of the Packers in 2014.

Just five catches all season Cobb caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Patriots. He finishes the season with five catches for 39 yards and a touchdown on 17 targets.

Impact Cobb appeared in 11 games for the Jets, but the 33-year-old wide receiver didn't look like he had much gas left in the tank in 2023. The veteran slot receiver topped 800 yards four times in his career but only once since 2015, and Sunday may have marked his last NFL action.

Not playing Week 16 Cobb (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus Washington.

Impact Cobb didn't catch a pass last week against Miami and has had a very minimal role in the Jets' offense this season, totaling just four catches on 16 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown over nine games. He's been inactive as a coach's decision on multiple occasions, so his benching Sunday doesn't come as a surprise. Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Xavier Gipson, Jason Brownlee and Irvin Charles will be the wideouts available to Trevor Siemian, who is filling in for Zach Wilson (concussion), in the contest.

Back on inactive list Cobb (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact Cobb had been inactive for the Jets' previous four games before he suited up for this past Friday's loss to the Dolphins while the coaching staff elected to make fellow receiver Allen Lazard a healthy scratch. While suiting up for the first time since Week 6, Cobb played just seven snaps on offense and went without a target. The Jets have elected to activate Lazard for Sunday following a one-week benching, so Cobb will find himself as the odd man out as New York keeps five receivers active.

Logs full practice Cobb (shoulder) practiced fully Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cobb was inactive for the Jets' Week 8 win over the Giants, but his return to a full practice Thursday sets the stage for the veteran slot man to be available for Monday night's game against the Chargers. However, with just three catches for 20 yards on 12 targets through six games this season, Cobb is off the fantasy lineup radar.

Inactive Sunday Cobb (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Coming out of the Jets' Week 7 bye, Cobb didn't practice Wednesday, but then logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. Now that it has been confirmed that the veteran slot man will be unavailable Sunday, Xavier Gipson is a candidate to see added Week 8 WR opportunities behind Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard, with Jason Brownlee and Malik Taylor also mixing in.

Questionable for Week 8 Cobb (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cobb didn't practice Wednesday coming out of the Jets' Week 7 bye, then logged limited participation in practices Thursday and Friday. If the veteran slot receiver sits Sunday, rookies Xavier Gipson and Jason Brownlee would be the top candidates for additional snaps with New York having traded wide receiver Mecole Hardman to Kansas City last week.

Returns to practice Cobb (shoulder) returned to practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact As expected, the veteran wideout logged a limited practice session Thursday after recording a DNP on Wednesday. Cobb has recorded only three receptions for 20 yards this season, despite playing on 49 percent of the Jets' offensive snaps. The 33-year-old now appears to be trending in the right direction to play in this Sunday's contest against the Giants.

Misses Wednesday's practice Cobb missed Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder issue, but he's expected to return to the field Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cobb presumably sustained the injury in the team's Week 6 victory over the Eagles prior to the Jets' Week 7 bye. If he does in fact return to practice Thursday, the veteran pass catcher should be in good shape to play Sunday against the Giants. Despite playing at least 35 percent of the Jets' snaps on offense in each of the team's first six games, Cobb has recorded just three receptions for 20 yards on 12 targets.
