Brandin Cooks Signs Five-Year Extension With Rams Three Months After Being Traded by Patriots

The Rams announced Tuesday they have signed Brandin Cooks to a five-year contract extension through 2023.

Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports the extension is worth $80 million, meaning Cooks is on the books for $88 million over six years with the Rams, including what he is scheduled to make in 2018.

Los Angeles acquired Cooks back in April when they traded a first-round pick and a sixth-round pick to the Patriots for the speedy wideout and a fourth-round selection.

"Brandin Cooks has shown himself to be a class act on and off the field since the first day he joined our team," Rams coach Sean McVay said in a statement.
