In the NFL, the team that is is trading someone never gets jack squat in return. 2nd rounder? Not a chance in hell....

I feel ya...but when you look at the total offensive production...besides Todd G, who has really stood out? You can't single accessory guys out....that are actually being somewhat productive....Drops happen...and the way he's been missing the ball lately, it may be in his head...but this is still a QB driven league, and for every drop, I bet Cook has been OPEN and not throw to..He's valuable...

I'd trade him for a half eaten cold meatball sub and some stale potato chips.
Trading him sends a message alright, the message that they will not settle for under-performing, overpriced players and that if you want to stay on the team, you have to do your job. Doubt its true, but I can dream right?

I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in Cook this season. But in order to trade him, I'd want to see real upside to the player or draft pick we got in exchange. If someone truly wants him and is coming to us for trade talks, I would expect that we listen only so much as they are seriously offering a win/win.
Cook has the ability to play good ball. And singling him out on this offense the way the entire offense (TA and TG aside) has performed, is a bit short sighted IMO. Unless the coaches get that he is not all in or they see something damning, I can't see getting rid of him at this point. I do hope he is getting special "attention" from the coaching staff right now.
But trading him just to trade him seems like a very bad idea. Hell - having him in on 1st and 2nd downs is enough reason to keep suiting him up on Sundays. Let's just hope our O-line starts providing better protection and he stops dropping the damn ball. I firmly believe drops are correctable and if that stops, he is still a match-up nightmare.

Rams shopping Jared Cook

Per a league source, the Rams are making calls to gauge interest in a trade for Cook, a big-money acquisition in free agency who has been good but not great in three-plus seasons with the team.
Jason La Canfora of CBS reports that teams have been calling the Rams about Cook; we’re hearing that the calls are being made by the Rams. It’s a subtle but significant distinction, since what the Rams get will be driven by the respective motivations of the buyer and the seller.
Cook has a base salary of $7 million this year, in 2016, and in 2017. Trading him would driver a $2 million cap hit in 2016.
The window for making trades closes on Tuesday, November 3.

^^^^ what he said.
He is employed to catch footballs. He sucks at catching footballs. If I sucked at my job I'd lose it.
Fuck trading him, cut him outright. He's hurting us more than helping us with his shitty play. Just make sure you staple his pink slip to his fucking forehead, otherwise he would drop that too.

I wonder if they have decided to put Bailey in the slot and have realized Cook has no value to this offense in doing so? We are still in contention so trading your primary offensive pass receiver doesn't make sense unless there is a change in how they want to use him.http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/10/18/rams-shopping-jared-cook/
