WISE Sports Radio football talk: Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb reunite, Kelvin Benjamin’s split with the Giants

May you find someone who misses you the way Aaron Rodgers missed Randall Cobb. This week, the Green Bay Packers tried to make their quarterback happy by bringing back one of his favorite receivers and veteran leaders.
