Texans acquire Brandin Cooks

Texans acquired WR Brandin Cooks and a 2022 fourth-round pick from the Rams in exchange for the No. 57 overall pick of the 2020 draft. 

It's the Texans' pick, though they still have the No. 40 overall selection they received in the DeAndre Hopkins trade. Cooks, of course, will immediately slide in as Hopkins' replacement. Cooks is a downgrade from a talent, versatility and contract aspect, but he will be a solid No. 2 wideout. Cooks, who has suffered some concerning injuries in recent years but not missed much time, is coming off by far the worst campaign of his career. Amazingly, he is still only 27 (in September). The difference between Cooks and Kenny Stills probably isn't as great as many might assume, but Will Fuller's injury history made it prudent for the Texans to fortify their receiver corps. Nevertheless, the Texans essentially traded Hopkins for Cooks and David Johnson, a trade that would not go through on Madden.

  Does Brandon Cooks have an expiration date on him or something? 

He is channeling Sam Bradford, insane that both kept getting traded for and the price remained high. Peel back the layers are either was "good/great", just slightly above average at times and in GREAT systems that pump out numbers.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
