HOUSTON -- As general manager Nick Caserio continues to rebuild the Houston Texans, his attention must now turn to his most talented offensive player.
Wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who the Texans traded for in 2020 for a second-round pick, has just one season left on his contract. Cooks is owed a $12.5 million base salary in 2022 as part of a deal that was signed with the Los Angeles Rams in 2018 and restructured by Houston last year.
Cooks was a key target for quarterback Deshaun Watson in 2020 and a key part of rookie quarterback Davis Mills’ development last season.
