Packers' Jeff Cotton: Signs another deal with Green Bay
The Packers signed Cotton to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
Cotton bounced around practice squads during the first two seasons of his career and spent much of the 2022 campaign unsigned after being cut by the Cardinals on Sept. 20. The 25-year-old wideout then landed a deal with the Packers' practice squad Nov. 9, and he finished the season on this unit without ever making an appearance for Green Bay. Cotton has played one game during the 2021 season with Jacksonville, and he'll look to carve out a spot in the Packers' young receiving corps this offseason.

Jeff Cotton: Joins Green Bay's practice squad
The Packers signed Cotton to their practice squad Wednesday.
Cotton has made just one NFL appearance, for the Jaguars in 2021, since joining the league as an undrafted free agent with the Chargers. Green Bay is currently dealing with injuries to Allen Lazard (shoulder), Randall Cobb (ankle), Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Sammy Watkins (knee), so it isn't surprising to see them add wideout depth, though it's unlikely Cotton will be elevated to the active roster anytime soon.

Jeff Cotton: Gets cut Tuesday
Cotton was cut from the Cardinals' practice squad Tuesday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Cotton spent most of last season on the Jaguars' practice squad, ultimately appearing in one contest for the franchise. He linked up with the Cardinals on Sept. 14, yet it appears his time with the franchise will be short. He'll now work to earn an opportunity elsewhere.

Jeff Cotton: Joins Arizona's practice squad
The Cardinals signed Cotton to their practice squad Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Cotton and JaVonta Payton were signed to the Cardinals' practice squad Wednesday after the team placed Victor Bolden (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list. Arizona may be without Rondale Moore (hamstring) for a second straight game in Week 2 and won't have DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) until Week 6, so Cotton and Payton could be potential roster elevations moving forward. Cotton appeared in his first NFL game last year with the Jaguars, but he played mostly on special teams.

Jeff Cotton: Joins Jags' practice squad
Cotton was signed to Jacksonville's practice squad Wednesday.
Cotton had a strong preseason showing, catching seven passes for 116 yards and a touchdown, but he was unable to crack the Jaguars' initial 53-man roster. However, he impressed enough to earn a spot on the practice squad and could receive another look if the team has any injury issues at wideout.

Jaguars' Jeff Cotton: Finishes preseason strong
Cotton caught three of four targets for 66 yards during Sunday's preseason matchup with the Cowboys.
Cotton was minimally involved in the passing game during the preseason opener, but he led the Jaguars in receiving yards in each of the last two exhibition contests. The 2020 UDFA out of Idaho finished with seven catches for 116 yards and a touchdown, and he even worked some with the second-string offense while playing 30 offensive snaps Sunday. He may still have a difficult time cracking Jacksonville's roster to open the season, though he should be a prime candidate for the practice squad if cut.

Jaguars' Jeff Cotton: Scores in Monday's exhibition
Cotton caught four of five targets for 50 yards and a touchdown during Monday's preseason game against the Saints.
The 2020 UDFA out of Idaho signed with Jacksonville in the start of August and showed a strong rapport with quarterback C.J. Beathard versus New Orleans. Cotton is unlikely to crack the Jaguars' season-opening roster but should be in the mix for a spot on the practice squad, especially if he can build on Monday's performance in the coming weeks.
