TRADED Texans trade WR Brandin Cooks to Cowboys

[big dog cowboy]

Another tremendous accomplishment for our much-maligned front office this year.

I really think they’re killing it.

Oh that's pure crap. Prescott and Carr is a lot better than Davis Mills that's for sure. And Jared Goff. Why would you even put Jared Goff and Brady and Brees in the same damn sentence?

I put Brees, Brady, and Goff in the same sentence as those were Cooks' QB's the first 6 years of his career....and I agree Carr and Prescott are better than Mills....but I guess you simply failed to see my point that Cooks had better QB's early in his career than Cooper had when comparing their cumulative stats.

Plus.. D Hop is still an option.

Arizona has to salvage the asset

LOL, Hopkins is not an option anymore. Probably never was. No one related to Dallas has said any interest.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He’s a deep threat. We needed a guy like Amari that can get open using a variety of routes over the middle.

Brandon Cooks is that guy as well. And we didn't need that type of receiver lol. Especially one who couldn't do it in big games or on the road.

this puts the peanut butter on the CAKE!!!!!!!!

You put peanut butter on cake?

Some people complain no matter what. It just happens.

I've always said that the Cowboys could win a super bowl and someone would find something to complain about.

There are folks who go thru their entire lives thinking the world sucks up until the day they die. Sadly many of those folks live on this forum.

Coog loves to bake, was being silly, but peanut butter icing coog makes is to LIVE FOR!

Ok there is no way stephen jones is doing tbis on his own. 2 awesome trades that on paper the cowboys win the deal. Someone is helping pull off these deals. Probably the devil.

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

Another stupid and pointless stat grab from @Risen Star

How many had 3?

How many have had a double digit TD season in their career?

 

[WoodysGirl]

This was a really good deal for the Cowboys and it's kinda hard to complain about it. But I see some folks giving it the old college try. lol

 

[USArmyVet]

It was common sense what you meant but Debby Downer wants us to feel bad about this trade lol.

Where did I say I want anyone feeling bad about this trade? Oh, and the BS debby downer comment is just you being butthurt again.

The fact is Dak now has a WR group better than in 2022 so there are no more excuses albeit MM has stated that he just wants to run the ball so I am surprised at this move given MM's take on his approach....especially seeing how MM said Moore just wanted to score points (aka pass the ball a lot).

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.

I hope so...but Cooks has been traded so many times...makes you wonder if he is a cancer in the locker room or a mini - TO

 

[This is Our Year]

GUESS WE'RE out on that OBJ guy lol

Good less drama for a better player.

I'm missing your point because the guy just had 1k yards with Davis Mills at QB. He's been nothing but consistent. Amari has not. Amari has bad years sprinkled into some of his good years.

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.

Thanks for the cap update.

I like the trade. Only on the 2nd page of replys and i can see many on here talked themselves into believing we had a real shot at D Hop, Evans, or Jeudy so are throwing temper tantrums

He's not a cancer. He gets traded because people want him lol.

feels so good

He reminds me of Cole Beasley: quick twitch with more top end speed.

Anyone being realistic knew we had no shot that's why I never even paid any attention to those discussions. It made no sense for them to bring in D Hop's contract when they have Lamn waiting to get paid. And when it comes to Odell I'm not even sure if he wants to play. Too much of a circus around his deal.
