Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter revealed that Jeff Cobb's AEW contract allows him to work in NJPW similar to Jon Moxley and Chris Jericho

Cody Rhodes revealed on a conference call and was full of praise for Cobb. He said that he still works in NJPW and ROH as well: (H/T Fightful)

A WWE Hall of Famer isn't a John Cena fan. More details HERE

"It’s still in gestation. Jeff works with New Japan, he works with Ring of Honor and now he works for AEW. I’m a big fan of Jeff Cobb because I like shooters in wrestling. I don’t try to consider myself one with my limited amateur background, but I think Jeff is a tank. He’s a special athlete. So I think, to be transparent with you, it’s in gestation. I would hope that he would pursue the longer thing with AEW, but I don’t want it to impede anything that he is doing."

We hope this is true because Jeff Cobb is an exceptional talent and he deserves to have a contract tailored to him like this.
