Former Patriots wide receiver Brandin Cooks gets traded for a record-tying fourth time

Brandin Cooks is on the move again.

The veteran wide receiver, who spent one of his nine seasons in the NFL with the New England Patriots, has been traded for a fourth time: the Houston Texans sent him to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. In order to acquire the 29-year-old, the Cowboys traded a fifth-round pick in the 2023 draft as well as a sixth-rounder in 2024 to Houston.

As a result of the trade, Cooks now is tied with Eric Dickerson as the all-time leader in getting traded.

A first-round draft pick by the New Orleans Saints in 2014, he was traded to the Patriots during the 2017 offseason.
