TRADED Texans trade WR Brandin Cooks to Cowboys

[Coogiguy03]

He won't care.

WOWWWWW, I THOUGHT I WAS NEGATIVE, I don't think i'm that bad but this puts the peanut butter on the CAKE!!!!!!!!

 

[Qcard]

You get a very good wr for 12 million and a 5th and 6th.

This is a hell of a deal, imo. As good as the Gilmore deal.

Plus.. D Hop is still an option.

Arizona has to salvage the asset

 

[Proof]

Eh. We should have gotten him last year. This year I would have traded for Hopkins.

tried they were asking for a first and not raking any of his salary on

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He’s not the type of WR we needed IMO. Not gonna complain too much since the Cowboys are actually making trades.

We didn't need a speed receiver who runs good routes and can catch?

 

[Coogiguy03]

Of course, this begs the question: can Dak hit him with the long bomb? Inquiring minds want to know . . .

He needs to go to the Dak field to work on timing!!! lol

Keep in mind Cooks has a 2024 cap hit of $24.6M with no dead money for Dallas to worry about and will be 30 years old this season so this may be a one-and-done season trade opportunity for Dallas.
If traded to Dallas, the guess is that Cooks will be placed in the slot given Gallup and Lamb are on the outside.

He won’t be a $24.6 million cap hit for us. His prorated nonus money from signing bonuses stays with Houston.

Cap hit for 2023 is $12 million since the Texans are paying $6 million of his salary

Cap hit for 2024 is $16.5 million which includes his $13 million salary, $3 million roster bonus, and $500K game roster bonus.

Yep. They wanted a first waiting ended up giving up a 5th and a 6th. Smart.

Yeah we have drummond and tolbert for that, better yet an UDFA this year who we'll pick up after the draft

 

[75boyz]

I'll stand by on his impact. It doesn't move the needle for me because everyone seems to forget the '21 WR season of Coop, Lamb, a mostly healthy Gallup(hurt late) and Wilson at the WR corps.

That was a better group overall and it got us no where.

But, I'll stand by to share a final opinion 'til after the early playoff loss.

Cowboys!

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Only three WRs in the entire NFL had double digit TDs last season

Another stupid and pointless stat grab from @Risen Star

 

[Ken]

Last year, he caught 57 passes for 699 yards and three touchdowns.....barely had more yards than Noah Brown...and traded more times than....Sam Bradford.

Again...Davis Mills. He is WAY better than those numbers indicate. With Davis the year before, he was over 1k.

He was also very pissed to play there last year...

He is as good as OBJ and younger than both OBJ and DHop.

Who did you want?

 

[infamousstyles]

Does this move the needle in the way we hope at the position? Eh, I'm not so sure. I do like the trade details but the wr Corps still looks weak to me *shrugs*

His bonus and restructure from that will stay with the Texans (as dead money) meaning he has a 13 million unguaranteed salary and a 3 million roster bonus in 2024. So that would make his cap hit 16 million for that season. Not saying it won't be a one and done, but it won't be a 24.6 million cap hit.

THANKS FOR THE BREAKDOWN, someone mentioned 18 million

Misinformation. Y'all want us to hate this move so bad that y'all are now spewing misinformation to do it.

 

[CouchCoach]

Better than signing Beckham.

Cooks just shows up and does what he's asked to do.

He won't upset the balance on the team and he should be a good accent to Lamb.

 

[big dog cowboy]

He has a 1,000 yard season on 4 different teams which is a good sign for him developing chemistry with different QB’s

That is a darn good point. Says a lot about him. Love this move.

Who the hell is Drummond?

 

[kumizi]

He’s a deep speed threat past his physical prime. We needed a guy like Amari that can get open using a variety of routes over the middle. Just my opinion.
