Cooks Traded To Texans

[JustinTime18™]

BRANDIN COOKSWR, HOUSTON TEXANS

Texans acquired WR Brandin Cooks and a 2022 fourth-round pick from the Rams in exchange for the No. 57 overall pick of the 2020 draft. It's the Texans' pick, though they still have the No. 40 overall selection they received in the DeAndre Hopkins trade. Cooks, of course, will immediately slide in as Hopkins' replacement. Cooks is a downgrade from a talent, versatility and contract aspect, but he will be a solid No. 2 wideout. Cooks, who has suffered some concerning (head) injuries in recent years but not missed much time, is coming off by far the worst campaign of his career. Somehow, this is the third time he's been traded in three years. He has a bad contract and has suffered at least five concussions as a pro. Amazingly, Cooks is still only 27 (in September). The difference between Cooks and Kenny Stills probably isn't as great as many might assume, but Will Fuller's injury history made it prudent for the Texans to fortify their receiver corps. Nevertheless, the Texans essentially flipped Hopkins for Cooks and David Johnson, a trade that would not go through on Madden. Bill O'Brien has never met a double down he couldn't pass up.

Bill O'Brien must want to go back to coaching college football...

We could put a three man team together from the board and do a better job than O'Brien.

Jesus, what is it with this guy?  Isn't this like the 3rd time he's been traded?

Saints > Pats > Rams > Texans so.... Yes! But he made over 40 mill for two seasons with the Rams

O'Brien is in over his head. Gave up Nuk due to $, then acquired a guy with 5 known concussions and a bigger contract.

you could damn near build a roster just with the draft picks surrendered for acquiring Cooks over his career.

O'Brien is freakin lost.

   Moss was Minnesota-Oakland- NE- Minnesota- Titans- SF

Seems like  WRs that are frequently traded all have a high turd factor. 

Is Cooks a turd or just can't find the right team?
