Sans Jared Cook, the last time the Green Bay Packers had a tight end who was a consistent performer was Jermichael Finley. Ever since his career abruptly ended in 2013, the Packers have tried and failed, to find someone to help spread out the offense.
Andrew Quarless, Lance Kendricks and Richard Rodgers have shown some signs of promise since 2013, but there has been so much inconsistency between the two.
When the Packers signed Cook in the 2016 offseason, it finally looked like the Packers found their guy. But when the season ended, Cook went to Oakland.
