Did Texans make right move trading for Brandin Cooks? | Pro Football Talk | NBC Sports

danny woodson So a 26 year old with one bad season is finished as a player?

@Mehmet Yigit Cobbs is a slot but if you figure all he did for Aaron were deep routes. Look at his diversity as a route runner and name me one that was short to medium. Not saying he is a burner but he was only used for deeper routes. I do agree that he ain’t the fastest guy out there but he was a legit returner early in his career.

danny woodson NFL guys get more concussions than that all the time, Cooks is only 26 not saying I like this move but Calvin Johnson said he probably had like 12.

One bad season most recent dummy he had 2 more concussions he’s in the downhill

Fuller doesn’t run the slant to the middle of the field he only goes deep. Cooks can do both…

@danny woodson Yeah, I think Tl Haloyn must be Bill O’Brien’s burner account!

@Hector Abarca Titans had a terrible start to the season until Tannehill came in for Mariota and then they barely lost. Also Rivers may well be really good behind the Colts O-line, he should certainly be better than the back-up that was qb last year. Plus I reckon the Texans’ players may all turn on Bill O’Brien

Hector Abarca u make some fair points in there and good luck to y’all but i’m sure we both know that making the playoffs and being one and out isn’t the best way to be spending watson’s current contract and sadly that’s what i see with this roster maybe making the playoffs in a weak division but not being able to compete in the long haul ,there are quite a few ifs concerning some of your projected key pieces like a johnson or even fuller the offense is def more rounded than let’s say a jags or titans but as a team i wouldn’t say they’re past the middle of the pack

If this team can stay healthy this will be dangerous

luis p I think at this point taking advantage of deshauns rookie contract is out of the question making it even more important to not pay 22 mil to one player. Rams took a chunk of Cooks contract so their cap hit for his this year is 8 mil. And I mean we were up 24-0 on the SB champs, I get that we choked but QB play is really one of the biggest factors when it comes to contending and at this point idk if there’s anyone outside of KC I’m taking over D4. The concern at this point is about health, but that can really be said about any team.

He’s a class act. Production just didn’t match the price. Rams need all the picks he can get.

Jerome t Green he’s a great dude but unfortunately his concussions are a scary injury. Brandin had 500 yards and 2 Touchdowns on the entire season. He really only played 7 games this year with the head injury he wasn’t the same after it.

So if he’s big injury prone what do you call 6 concussions because you just proved the point he played all games last year yet he only had 500 yards he’s finished as a player

he had concussions

Cap space was their issue

And they still lose

No they didn’t lmao

I am GOATed people were saying he should retire last year, they traded a player they don’t even really need with a questionable injury history for a 2nd round pick and $8m In future cap space that’s an easy win for the rams.

Josh Peck they didn’t need Brandin Cooks after trading D Hop? Will Fuller, Kenny Stills, and Randall Cobb are not number 1 receivers. Brandin Cooks has proven that he is a number 1 receiver. 8M in cap space? Really cause the Rams ate 21.8M in dead cap hit. So all they got was a 2nd round pick 😂

I am GOATed they traded a player not traded for a player meaning I’m talking about the rams not needing him. And yes the rams saved $8m in cap space with this move had they kept him, cut him, or he retired they were on the hook for $30m in cap space not $21.8m. This was an easy win for the rams

Need some ob og…

Hold on I’ll get Scooby and the gang to uncover this phony

@Teddy Brosevelt W 😂

Sam King 5 concussions get it right dumbass

@Luis Perez 2 in 25 days no less

@Luis Perez 4 is still a lot

of course thats why their falling off when you overpay a mediocre QB and 2 injury-prone skill players thats gonna happen haha

Cooks AND Fuller both have issues with hands. They are both going to have crucial drops like they have their entire careers. Cobb will be the only consistent receiver on the roster and he’s not worth what he’s getting paid.
The receiver room is mediocre, the line room is mediocre and the secondary is garbage. The only people the Texans scare are people who voted the over on their win total.

@Pat Jones awe you threw a fit, how cute. No need to have a temper tantrum online buddy. You’re a Pat’s bandwagon who also is too blind to see that the front office of the Texans has no idea what they’re doing. Quit trying to defend your Texans and “take your L” you sensitive child😂

@Dat Boi you hate 😂😂😂Your Sad 😂

@Pat Jones awe I’m happy to know I mean something to you after hurting your feelings😋 have fun being a Texans and Pat’s fanboy 😂👍🏼

@Dat Boi you hate 😂😂😂😂Right.

incrediblyconfused
Lol I was almost baited but then I read your name

Bunch of overrated receivers.

Good would be even better with Hopkins still in their

I honestly think if you offered me Cobb, Fuller and Stills I rather have Hopkins it’s close

They are incredibly solid, potentially making this offense GOAT. But……of course, these guys have to stay on the field, which is a huge question mark.
