Texans trade for WR Brandin Cooks

[RustyBourneHorse]

Bill O’Brien is wrecking that franchise on levels jerry only wishes he could do.

Jerry should offer a second and jaylon smith for Watson.

O'Brien might just go for it.

I’m not sure how they’ll do with their stupid moves etc but this is interesting to see together

For the five games they're healthy for. Watson's already requested a trade.

Brandin Cooks is a nice player being paid like a star, and seems to be collecting concussions like old ladies used to collect Beanie Babies.

Pretty sure that was from a fake twitter account.

Dude gets pumped and dumped a lot, doesn't he?

 

[Nova]

Bro, I'm not a Dak hater, but I'm a little worried that LAR is dumping essentially everyone after paying Goff.

I think they're just trying to get some draft capital back after trading two 1sts for Ramsey

The tweet credited the real Ian rapadork. I take these rumors with a grain of salt but wouldn't blame him.

They were supposed to get former first round pick RB Darrin Nelson as well, but he refused to report so they shipped him off to San Diego.

Ah yes. I forgot that. Thanks for the reminder.

well you got me there but in the era where they over value draft picks Cooks has had a lot of draft capital thrown at him

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Cooks must have one heck of an agent...

 

[Flamma]

What's Houston doing? Trade Hopkins then pick up Cooks? The point?

 

[Aven8]

Has any other play in the NFL been worth so much draft capital as Brandin Cooks?

Yes. Sam Bradford

 

[charron]

What a waste to trade 1 WR and use those similar resources for another lesser WR. Nothing against Cooks but he keeps getting bounced around for a reason, he's no Hopkins.
