FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys acquired receiver Brandin Cooks in a trade with the Houston Texans on Sunday, adding a speedy veteran to play alongside CeeDee Lamb.
Houston gets a fifth-round pick this year and a 2024 sixth-rounder in a deal reminiscent of a year ago when Dallas sent No. 1 receiver Amari Cooper to Cleveland for two late-round picks.
The difference in the trades is the Texans will pay $6 million of Cooks' $18 million salary. The Browns absorbed the entire $20 million owed to Cooper.
It's the fifth time Cooks has been traded, including a swap the day after he was taken 20th overall by Arizona in 2014.
