While Cook only managed 30 receptions for 377 yards and a touchdown last season, he was a key cog for Aaron Rodgers and that Packer offense. According to NFL Research:

This is a great addition for Derek Carr and that offense. Cook is a big (6’5″, 250 lbs) red zone target and is athletic enough to play outside. Derek Carr took to twitter to show his newest target some love.
@JaredCook89 welcome to #RaiderNation bro! God bless you and the family! See you soon!

Cook said he is willing to purchase the number “89” from Amari Cooper. Will Amari accept his offer?
