It makes absolutely no sense, but I think Hopkins wanted a new deal that would pay him a hell of a lot more than what cooks will be making.

He could have drafted a better WR than Cooks in this years 2nd Rnd. Glad to be a Jets fan tonight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001108919/article/texans-in-process-of-trading-for-rams-brandin-cooks Bill O'Brien's Texans are making more moves and wide receiver Brandin Cooks is on the move once more. The Texans are bringing in another dynamic wide receiver, as they are in the process of trading for Cooks from the Rams, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. Houston will obtain Cooks and a future fourth-round pick in exchange for sending a second-round pick to the Rams, Rapoport reported. It's the fourth team for Cooks and it will be the fourth time he's been traded in his career, as the Texans add him to a deep wide receiver corps but one absent of superstar DeAndre Hopkins, who was previously traded this offseason to the Cardinals. Originally a first-round selection by the Saints in 2014, Cooks will now have been traded three times for two first-round picks and a second-round choice after stints with New Orleans, the Patriots and Rams. When the Saints drafted Cook, it was consequently via a pick obtained via trade with the Cardinals. Cooks posted 42 catches for 583 yards and two scores in 2019 -- largely the least productive season of his six-year career. Still, the 26 year old should be a solid addition to a Texans team that looks to have a well-rounded offense. Trading away Hopkins -- one of the game's elite -- will likely always be a head-scratcher, but now quarterback Deshaun Hopkins has wide receivers Cooks, Will Fuller, Randall Cobb and Kenny Stillsalong with tight end Darren Fells and running backs David Johnson and Duke Johnson. As for the Rams, while they don't have a first-round draft pick, they now have two second-round selections and two in the third round.

Popular Post SayNoToDMC Posted April 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2020 So the difference in cap hit between Brandin Cooks and Hopkins is 500k. They both have 3 years left on their deal. Bill O'Brien swapped Hopkins for Cook while taking on an untradeable RB contract. Where the **** is the owner? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nycdan Posted April 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2020 The 'Fire Bill O'Brien' thread on the Texans forum is 196 pages long. and then there's this blurb in PFN's mock draft LOL: Quote 57-Houston Texans: Jaylon Johnson, CB Utah It’s a shame the Houston Texans cannot draft a GM because that is their biggest need, but they also need help at cornerback. Jaylon Johnson should find significant playing time immediately. 5 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I know he's justifiably taken a ton of heat for the Hopkins trade from everyone. Now it looks like he's trying to appease that fan base. Seems like a desperate move. Now there's a team that needs a REAL GM. Where's Macc at ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's called desperation. Desperation born out of maybe his own false image, that he's a reincarnation of the Belichick persona. We've seen this act before...with other former BB assistant coaches...who think players will react to them like they're in the presence of a true BB disciple. You have to prove it to them. He'd need to walk on water before a Hopkins kneels down in awe, and believes in him. So DeAndre must go..for defying the BB-O'Brien way. Maybe I'm off base here...but to me that's how he's coming across. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 More WRs for us to choose from in the draft. Cooks disappeared in the Super Bowl vs Pats & Gilmore. I want bigger, faster WRs & this draft is LOADED! Texans are at MUST WIN mode & they're not even that good. Watt has been constantly injured & is damaged goods, Hopkins gone, Jets will have a better record next year, have a better defense, and Obrien is SO overrated it isn't funny.

Irish Jet Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 This move probably wouldn't look too bad on it's own but everything will seem desperate after the atrocious Hopkins move.
