On Tuesday, Adam Schefter reported that newly-acquired Rams WR Brandin Cooks will sign a 5 year, $80 million extension, which will tie him with Sammy Watkins for the league’s 4th highest paid wideout, according to Over the Cap.
So what does that mean for Vikings WR Stefon Diggs, who’s currently entering the final year of his rookie contract?
There’s no question that Cooks has been more consistently productive than Diggs. The Oregon State product, a first round pick in 2014 by the Saints, has strung together three 1,000 yard seasons in a row.
