Brandin Cooks could be on the move. Again. The Rams have made the wide receiver available via trade, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic (on Twitter). Meanwhile, they’re also shopping star running back Todd Gurley.

The Rams are looking to shed Cooks’ salary while recouping some draft capital. Despite his past accomplishments, it could be tough for them to find the right deal. Last year, Cooks had just 42 grabs for 583 yards and two touchdowns. Contrasted with his four straight seasons of 65/1,082/5, his trade value ain’t what it used to be.
If a deal comes together, it’ll likely happen in the next 24 hours. On Friday, Cooks is slated to lock in a guaranteed $5MM roster bonus. All in all, his contract takes him through 2023 with an upcoming cap hit of $16.8MM. A trade would lessen the blow, but still leave the Rams with a dead money charge.
Dunno bout that one chief. Those concussions…
Maybe the Texans nobody else is taking on that contract
i would like the move if the texans can move Fuller for a pick a 2nd rounder and then offer the rams a 3rd.
Nobody’s giving up a 2nd or 3rd rounder for Fuller, he can’t stay on the field.
Yea that’s a big cap hit. But maybe Colts make that move since they definitely have the money and would give Rivers another weapon to go with T. Y. Hilton
Why are the Rams cleaning house?
because they suck and have huge contracts on their hands
they threw caution to the wind to try and load up for a SB run and almost pulled it off but now they have to pay the piper and are SOL.
They were in the Super Bowl last year?
They had so man problems last year and went 9-7. They could win the division next season and no one would bat an eye
Well, putting Gurley on the market should be a priority,,,,,unfortunately, his knee is gonna diminish his career,,,,,soon
Because they have no money so they are trying to free up these big contracts. I think they are screwed over the next few seasons with cap space and start picks
“Ain’t what it used to be”
He’ll end up in Minnesota
Jets may kick the tires
Tire kicking is the one thing the Jets do well.
Buccaneers could be interested. They want someone with speed and Brady has worked with Cooks once before.
good call
And Gurley. Lol
Denver’s looking for some a RB to help Phillip Lindsey …… and Courtland Sutton needs somebody opposite him, plus Denver has huge cap space.
Denver is looking for a running back to help out Philip Lindsay in Cortland Sutton need somebody opposite him I said Denver and Denver could afford both.
Raiders should get him, then pick up a CB in the first round after missing out on Jones and Slay.
This is what happens when you overpay your QB and RB. Something Dallas fans can look forward too.
Release and Vikings sign him!
Howie roseman type of deal/player. I don’t think the eagles will go after him unless he agrees to redo that contract
