With his move to the Houston Texans, Brandin Cooks has now been traded three times in about three years. While this isn't necessarily an ideal career path, the receiver sees it as a good thing.

"The way that I look at it, I take it as a positive and that I'm wanted, and that I'm valued at a high level still," Cooks said Thursday, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.

The 26-year-old argued the return in the trades tells a key part of the story.

"You look at all of the trades, they all were for a first-rounder, and this one, going for a second-rounder," Cooks added.
