HOUSTON -- Texans wideout Brandin Cooks admitted to being frustrated on Thursday, speaking publicly for the first time since the NFL's trade deadline passed on Nov. 1.

The Texans are 1-6-1, which is part of the reason why Cooks hoped to be traded to a contender.

"For me personally, I just at the end of the day want to win and compete now," Cooks said. "That's been my thought process."

Cooks leads the Texans in receiving with 354 yards and 32 receptions. But the Texans couldn't find a trade partner mainly because of Cooks' 2023 contract, which is set to pay him $18 million fully guaranteed.
