HOUSTON -- The Texans have restructured wide receiver Brandin Cooks' contract, sources confirmed to ESPN.
According to a source, the restructure voids the final season of the deal Cooks signed with the Los Angeles Rams in 2018, meaning he will now be a free agent after the 2022 season.
NFL Network first reported that Cooks' contract was restructured. The restructure, which frees up more than $6 million in cap space for the Texans, converts $10 million of Cooks' base salary to a signing bonus. Before the restructure, Cooks had a cap hit of $12 million in 2021, but did not have any guaranteed money left on his contract.
