Brandin Cooks Traded to Houston Texans

Turn in the KJ Hamler card now

He also tended to play his best football in big games.

As in his two SB’s?? Concussed early in Pats v Falcons and of course dropped TD w Rams.

I'll be satisfied with some 9-7 BS for the next season or two. Our championship window reopens in 2022.

i'd hope it would be earlier than that.

More proof they are playing for 2021

Cooks dropped 2 TD’s in the SuperBowl in my book.

Love this deal....Cooks is one hit away from retirement shocked the Texans made this deal, however, I expect Bill O'Brien will be run out of town next year...This somewhat makes up for gift wrapping DHOP to the Cardinals.

Bottom line is it frees up future $$$ which gives the Rams flexibility to restructure contracts this year. And most importantly it gives our resident gambling addict GM some house $$$ to play with.

Give me Mims!

Yeah, it makes that meeting they had with Mims look like more of a possibility in the draft.

Great trade!

Cooks was a good deep threat but if we're being honest Goff has had a much better connection with Kupp, Woods, Higbee, and even Everett at times. Plus the concussions sadly seemed to have catch up to Cooks as of late, I'm not even sure why the Texans would give up a 2nd tbh even if they are getting a future 4th in return.

 

[Dieter the Brock]

Holy shit, is this real life? If it is - and I have no idea if I'm dreaming or not - this isn't a steal. This is a fucking armed robbery.

I thought it was another of your April Fools jokes

Excellent I Would think!!! I like Cooks but Copper Kupp needs to be resigned at the end of the season.
Lol- Clay & Gurley need to get paid.

Doesn’t this help The Rams signing of there new OLB from Da Bears ?

This trade does not help the cap in 2020.

 

[FaulkSF]

Give me Mims!

Done!

 

[MarkyMark]

not sure, but this may the right move
train

Who would the pick be?

 

[rdlkgliders]

Curious how this will work out, Pre Concussed Cooks I say no to this deal but the reality is he has had more than his share of concussions already. To me he was much more than a deep threat when healthy, he was an above average guy with speed. Had a gift for high pointing balls and had better than average hands but yes some drops that really hurt. Stay Healthy BC no one deserves to leave this sport on someone else's terms like due to health

Round 2: No. 52 overall
Round 2: No. 57 overall (thanks Bob!)
Round 3: No. 84 overall
Round 3: No. 104 overall (compensatory)
Round 4: No. 126 overall
Round 6: No. 199 overall
Round 7: No. 234 overall

With that extra capital comes options. And a much more fun draft night.

Amazing how one additional pick changes things—now we get 4 players in the first 3 rds.

 

[majrleaged]

Yeah what the hell? Why are we giving up a 4th? I just don’t understand it.

his salary and as some have said more than once, he is concution prone. It isn't a bad deal.

 

[Ellard80]

A lot of us were figuring this was coming

This wasnt surprising.

 

[BC Ramfan]

I like Cooks but I had begun to worry about him. A lot.

Getting out from the contract, plus a 2nd, plus not holding my breath every time he gets tackled...

Good trade.

I like Brandon Cooks very much as a person and football player, and in a way am sorry he couldn't stay a Ram.
But considering his contract and his concussions I am onside with this trade.
This draft is LOADED with WR talent apparently.
Best to you Brandon.
