The Texans are signing wide receiver Brandin Cooks to a two-year extension, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. Cooks was set to become a free agent after the 2022 season.
Despite potential trade rumors, Houston always planned on keeping him as they rebuild their team, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Rapoport added the Texans will pay Cooks almost $20 million a year with this extension.
Cooks is entering the final season of a five-year, $81 million contract that he signed while with the Rams in 2018. He has been traded three times in his career, starting with the Saints, then playing for the Patriots and Rams before settling in Houston.
