Brandin Cooks "on radar"

Personally if I'm going to spend $16.5M on a WR next year it isn't Cooks and especially if I have to give up a pick to get him

 

[pacy]

I think we could get him for a 4th.

It's Fish........could be from last year's news cycle (lol)

$16M for a WR really isn’t that much these days…although I do also feel like I’d rather swing a little higher if I’m committing serious money to the position

Cooks has put up the stats in spite of not having a great QB in Houston recently but having at least 3 known concussions (2015, 2018, 2019) as well as a 2023 base salary of $18M makes me nervous to pursue him.

I'm totally fine with spending $16M for a WR. Just not on Cooks if I can help it

I can't see any way that isn't our WR corps this upcoming season...

 

[DeaconMoss]

Took a flier on him on my FFB team last year. I traded him for Fournette. No thanks.

 

[Carson]

It’s Fish.

Just delete this garbage. He will report “on radar” then in a few days say “I am the news! They never were interested!”

 

[jazzcat22]

I am not a fan for this. Just reads James Washington all over again. Not from a talent point of view, as we know Cooks' talent.

Just does not seem a good fit to me.

I agree. broaduss did mention to keep an eye on him yesterday as well.

Hopkins comes with a 2023 base salary of $19.45M and would require is probably a 2nd round draft pick to trade for him. In addition, he has had a multitude of injuries in the last few years (15 games missed the last 2 seasons between injuries and suspension) not to mention a 6-game suspension for PED use.

I get wanting the 'named' WR to help the offense but is Hopkins really what he once was?

It’s the dumb stuff they do.

Want to trade? Get Hopkins. If you want to spend the $$$ sign Jakobi Meyers and he cost you no draft picks.

But yeah, let us spend premium picks on Brandin Cooks and take on his massive salary.

 

[baltcowboy]

For the salary I trust Cooks over OBJ and Hopkins (extension) Hopkins was a top 5 receiver two years ago but the Cowboys are not paying 20+ million for any receiver with CeeDee’s contract coming up. The Cowboys are all in on OBJ though. They don’t want to give up those picks.

 

[jazzcat22]

I agree. broaduss did mention to keep an eye on him yesterday as well.

My fear is, they will over pay draft capital. It is what they do.
Don't get enough in return for our players (Cooper) and give up too much for another teams player.

When was the last time Fish was right about something? That's a legitimate question..does anyone actually know the answer?
