Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien has been a busy man since taking over the role of general manager. Texans are acquiring veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks from the Los Angeles Rams, according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.
Texans are giving up the lowest of their second-rounders in exchange for Cooks and Rams’ fourth-rounder in 2022. Addressing the wide receiver position isn’t a surprise after the Texans traded DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals, but it’s a rather surprising move that they decided to move in on Cooks.
The 2020 NFL Draft is regarded as a deep class in terms of wide receivers, but the Texans are getting a proven player in Cooks that can help the Texans offense now instead of a rookie receiver that will have to acclimate to the NFL level.
