For the second time this offseason, the Houston Texans news concerning a wide receiver trade was one of the big NFL stories. This time it involved Brandin Cooks.
After trading away DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals last month, the Texans acquired Cooks from the Rams last week.
In combination with each other, these trades don’t make sense. The Texans traded away a more productive receiver who is under contract for three more years at $39.915 million for a less productive player at the same position who is under contract for four years and $47 million.
