TRADED Texans trade WR Brandin Cooks to Cowboys

[john van brocklin]

A taller one?
Why would I want that?
Good trade though

Greater catching radius?
Dak can be inaccurate at times.

 

[Hadenough]

Curious to hear your logic here? Also, what receiver did you have in mind? Since OBJ isn't much taller than Cooks I assume you would rather have Hopkins...

Pretty sure his reasoning is Dak lacks accuracy and a taller guy gives him a bigger catch radius. Hopkins isn't as big as people think.

4 times in a 9 year career.
In the long history of the league, there's probably several way-under-the-radar players than eclipse his total; but no doubt Cooks is at / near the top of the list of notable\able players that has been traded the most.

He actually tied the NFL record today for times being traded...with Eric Dickerson.

What annoyed me the most about Cooper was he would go off for 11 catches for 150 yards one week, catch three for 24 for three more weeks, then have a 200 yard game after that. No consistency. The Raiders and Cowboys both realized that.

Definitely not consistent. Good WR but sold as much more than that around here which was part of the problem.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Horrible deal. Cowboys give away a 5th and 6th round picks for a soon to be 30 year old 5'10" WR with tons of wear and tear who previously has been on 4 previous teams, plus take on his salary even if 2/3rds of its overpaid of it? How is this a good deal for the Cowboys?

 

[NotForLong]

cooks is 5'10". Id like a big guy to go up in red zone to battle 1 on 1. That aint lamb, that aint cooks... Gallup hs shown he can, bt again, at 6'1" he isnt going to physically dominate.

Thats why Darnell Washington is a must get in the 1st

There was no shortage of fast times when wide receivers ran the 40-yard dash at the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine Sunday morning, but no one was faster than Oregon State's Brandin Cooks, who paced the field with a 4.33-second run.

Speed kills and I feel like that’s what I’m going to bring to the game,” Cooks told reporters

.

 

[NotForLong]

I dunno man,
There's a decent sized group wanting Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs at #26.
Unless you meant explode in a good way.

Gibbs is only 199 He will never live up to a 1st rd grade

 

[NotForLong]

It’s OK mainly because I think it will keep us from making major mistakes with WRs this year.

Most of the veteran options involved a 30+ yr old and giving up a 1st or second day pick. At best we would have them for 2-3 years while they decline.

The WR class in the drafted is weaker than the last few years. On top of that at least 3 or 4 WRs would be gone before we picked. Not to mention if we drafted a WR in the first we would’ve used 3 of our last 5 1sts on WR.
By our late pick in round 2 we would likely be looking at the 7th-9th best prospect.

At least Cooks should be a noticeable upgrade and only cost a couple of late picks.

And Jerry got the Texans to dot the bill for 6 million

You are correct!
Started with the LA Rams, then -----
1) Traded to the Colts
2) Traded to the LA Raiders
3) Traded to the Falcons
4) Traded to the Packers

 

[NotForLong]

I like acquiring the talent, but I'm leery of his simply for that fact. Why do teams go and get him, and then soon thereafter want to dump him?

No one ever dumped him . . . teams gave up 2 1st Rd picks and a 2nd Rd pick until now

Jerry got the best Value for a very Competitive Veteran Leader that hose out and does His Job

 

[NotForLong]

so another aged veteran off season reach by Jones & Co?

MAN....I do NOT remember Dickerson in a Falcon or Packer uni.....hmmmmm

 

[NotForLong]

Darnell freakin’ Washington. I hope he’s still there at #26.

I just posted this same exact thing

I know other players have been on more teams, just not by way of trade, which was the only reason for bolding that word.

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

TRASH. THE WORST!!!! Can't stand this overhyped WR. Unreal.

THIS ^^^ Is the epitome of someone who cannot let a narrative go. He can't just say it's a positive move, he has to hold on to his Boolshizz.

Kind of funny actually

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

I really wanted DHop but hey, good signing

It's a trash move. Cooks is a jag. If he signed with the eagles or giants I wouldn't care at all.....or got traded i should say. by the way it now cost us more in draft picks and money to replace Cooper and we still haven't touched what he brought to the table.

 

[Cowboys1966]

Nice pick up. low-cost, with some upside

 

[Cowboys1966]

come on now… He still has the speed…Not all pro but a good pick up.
