Brandin Cooks to Rams for a 1st: blockbuster

[Dxmissile]

Idk how I feel about this. That’s precious draft Capitol to give up. I know Cooks numbers are good but I hope they don’t turn him into Austin or just use him as a decoy like Watkins

We can't sign players with our 100M Cap Space next year? Interesting.

Just answering the question you asked

 

[Memento]

Not a fan of this trade. Hopefully we can re-sign him, but I really wanted our first to be spent on someone like Lamdry.

 

[NERamsFan]

It's not the same situation as Watkins because we will have way more money to sign the players we want. That's a little straw man.

We’ll see man, we have a lot of guys to pay big deals starting next year plus how are we going to address our LB core? Mannn

 

[TSFH Fan]

My superficial, non-analytical, initial gut reaction is that:
Not real excited that the Rams just got a guy that Sean Peyton with Drew Brees got rid of who was also a guy that Bel'sheet with Brady got rid of.

Especially one that won't cost 20 million? Lol

I understand and I posed another question. Why couldn't we sign him to a new contract next year, with the amount of Cap Space we have (A lot more than we had when we had Watkins).

 

[RamInferno]

Would feel a lot better about this trade if we had received another 6th round pick instead of giving one up....

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

Should we go ahead and preemptively add Cooks to the "Players we're wrong about" thread?

Just saw on Twitter that Cooks ia the only player outside of AB over the last 3 years to post 1k yards and at least 7 tds.

Bye Tavon!

Brandin Cooks won't cost 20m. He's not Odell. But he's better than Watkins.

 

[NERamsFan]

So many thoughts I’m still processing while sharing lol... a) we must’ve not liked the the wideout and te selection in the draft and b) Odell and the giants must be standing firm with their respective demands.

FUCKKK I wanted Landry or Evans.. it’ll be easier for me when landry goes top 15 anyways, but still.. look out for the 9ers on Landry

I'm not necessarily against this move but where are we going to get help on the EDGE now?

This year's draft class doesn't appear to be really deep for edge players.

Plus, It's not effectively a prove it deal. Watkins was injury prone coming to us. I think Snead/Demoff try to sign this guy to a deal early, where they wouldn't do that with Watkins last year...

 

[Big Game]

Same situation as Sammy... except now we got rid of our 1st

Wrong, Rams have over 100 million in cap next season

If he resigns with us a mediocre season got Watkins 16 mill a year ... he has a decent season what’s going stop cooks riding off onto the sunset of a flat bed of cold hard cash to the highest bidder

 

[RamsFlash80]

I LOVE Cooks but this was expensive. No doubt the Rams are going for it all! Hopefully we can lock him up long term.

That doesn’t include Donald’s deal and potentially anyonemelse we sign
