Brandin Cooks could be in danger of voiding his $18 million guaranteed salary for 2023

[CTcowboy203]

If he’s unhappy it’s possible. They are 1-5-1 are going to probably lose by 20+ tonight. So they’ll be 1-6-1 and still have to play Dallas, Kansas City, New York, Miami, Washington, Tennessee who are all .500 or above

why do they care if they lose tho? I mean I know they try to win every game but they are in a rebuild. The more they lose the better the pick they have

 

[stilltheguru]

Wow they could have gotten a pick for him and now they might cut him?

I think they tried to take Jerry to the cleaners and were dug in not to help dallas.

 

[CTcowboy203]

they wont cut him unless they thought they could get out of his salary. He could easily say he missed this week for other reasons and even go to the mental health card over the "Stress," of the last week.

He isnt losing that 18 million.

agree totally. Lol this is pie in the sky Imo unless he gives up a ton of Money

Because that’s his selling point. He’s 29 and may not want to wait 3 years to compete

again….tell me why they give a damn what cooks wants lol? He just asked for a trade- they didn’t trade him. They didn’t take on any of his salary to facilitate a trade. That’s a pretty big sign they aren’t putting his feelings first. He’s being compensated more than fairly.

if they cut him it’s counts as $27m of dead cap. The only way it happens is if he sacrifices a lot of money….

I am just spit balling here what he may be trying to do.

Once again, it was on Cooks to sign a massive deal for a crap team and now wants out when they stink.

 

[slick325]

That man would be a fool to throw away that guaranteed $18M!

 

[Praxit]

... so he's not playing tonight. What a turd. Spoiled kid.

 

[charron]

Good for him. Maybe that is exactly what he wants. Then he is free to sign with whomever he wants. Maybe he makes millions less.....but he will still make millions and be happier.

Have you paid much attention to any dispute between team and player and how they go down? You Think Kadarius Toney was so injured he couldnt have been playing?

Ok, Im cooke and you kept me regardless of my "Feelings." Bam... damn coach, my hammy just popped. It doesnt feel right. im not going to be able to go this weekend.
Next week... nah coach, Hammy still not feeling well. Gonna need to sit out another eek.

Hey coach... Ill be right back, I just got this weeks game check. I need to go take out 50k in cash for my new Rolex.

 

[DCBoysfan]

If the Texans consider cutting him, why not trade him for something
instead of getting nothing? I don't see it happening.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

Maybe, just maybe playing for a team that is competitive matters to him more than that final year of guaranteed money?. Maybe he was told behind the scenes, he was going to be traded.

Maybe playing on a team that screwed up the qb situation is not what he planned on? Who knows... but I think you surely presume to know what it is.

His priest in the organization was fired too

The article states towards the end that he could possibly end up being cut. He doesn't have to clear waivers so he is free to sign with any team he chooses. Something interested to watch.

This is wrong. Everybody here on out has to clear waivers

 

[dfense]

Why would you want a guy that has a contract and won't play because he's mad? He's got no integrity.

 

[Dre11]

No he can't he has to pass through waivers still.

Bc it would be absolutely silly not to speak with him if he forced his way out. Idc why he's mad at management over there. If it happens he could definitely help us for this season and possibly next.

Players with 4 or more seasons of accrued service don't go through waivers. But yes, now that I look at it, after the trade deadline that doesn't apply.

Nice catch! It's after trade deadline that everyone is subject to waivers right?

 

[Dre11]

Not after the trade deadline.
