In a sports world that is mostly frozen in place, the NFL offseason has been a respite for sports-starved folks everywhere. It's a bit of normalcy in a time that's anything but, a reminder there are still some certainties in life during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Certainties like wide receiver Brandin Cooks getting traded and Houston Texans head coach/general manager Bill O'Brien making ill-advised personnel moves.
As ESPN's Lindsey Thiry reported, the Texans acquired Cooks, who hauled in 42 passes for 583 yards and two scores in 14 games for the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, for a second-round pick in the 2020 draft.
