I mean the giants traded toney so it’s not apples to apples that’s apples to oranges. If cooks doesn’t play they don’t win. When he does play they don’t win. He can sit out all he wants all that does is make him become a malcontent whose possibly injury prone- they are already paying him.
if you wanted a comparison that’s close (I’ll help you) it would be obj and he gave up significant money- which is what cooks will have to do if he wants to be released this season. Otherwise he can pout and sit out the rest of the year while they continue to tank and then they can address it in the offseason.
that’s not this season tho which is what this thread is about.
The Giants traded Toney after a year of him not laying for various "Injuries."
Who said anything about comparing the exact same situation? So here, Ill help you out. Cookes has not sat out games. I wasnt aware of Cookes even asking for a trade... but there was obviously something said to him behind the scenes. Then Houston tried to fleece the Cowboys. They had a Mexican standoff and Houston got burned.
NOW Cookes is starting to do his Toney impersonation... and here is where Ill help you out. PLAYERS do not lose in these situations. They will get hurt, they will miss gaes ad tey will still get paid. Players win...... always when they want out.
Look at wuss boy from the Sixers. He sat out a year because his feelings were hurt, his "Mental health," wasnt right and he still got paid a boat load of money to not play.... until he got his wish and he was traded.
He has become disgruntled and teams are better off trading those players, because in the end, they get no money and no production from those players.
Watch how quick Toney starts tearing it up in KC.
