Brandin Cooks "on radar"

[jazzcat22]

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.

Exactly.

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.

I don’t hate Cooks.

I hate that they will trade for Cooks and do nothing to upgrade anything else.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Id rather look at signing Mecole Hardman.

 

[jazzcat22]

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

That and how big is the universe are questions that may never be answered.

 

[Jfconrow]

Isn’t he a slot WR? Just roll with Turpin.

Turpin isn’t in the same stratosphere as Cooks

Right, it would be .. hey look what we did .. to appease fans and say .. be satisfied, we did something.

There is talk of WR names like Hopkins, Cooks, OBJ, etc. possibly being pursued by Dallas but with those names commanding $10M+ per season, do not be surprised if Dallas does what they seemingly always do lately and bring back a guy like TY Hilton for a cheaper contract ($5M range).

Just in time, it's being reported that the Texans are open to trading veteran receiver Brandin Cooks - and that meshes nicely with this fact: CowboysSI.com is told by a source that the Cowboys have the wideout on their "radar.''

 

[Hawkeye0202]

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.........just not feeling this kid

Puff Puff Pass on trading for Cooks. If he’s cut agrees to a lesser salary then I’m in

No way. We must give up a 2nd and multiple other picks

I don't think they would have a problem giving OBJ or Hopkins $10M per season. IMO, the problem with OBJ could be how much G-money he wants and the same with Hopkins plus draft picks to the Cards.

My guess is a 2nd. Texans wanted a 1st at the deadline and Cowboys balked

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?

Yes. The games he missed last year weren’t injury related. So don’t say that.

Would be a terrible trade

 

[zrinkill]

Hopkins
Lamb
Beckham
Cooks
Gallup

 

[Teague31]

Giant pass

 

[Carson]

Yep. We’d be bailing them out. They have Nico Collins and just signed Robert Woods. Cooks is just extra cap

 

[big dog cowboy]

The Cowboys were serious about this idea at the trade deadline in October, with a second-round pick being a discussion item. Can it be done more affordably now for a Dallas team that has vowed to add "offensive play-maker juice''?

No way I've giving up a 2nd round pick and $26M for Cooks.
