| 0:46.8 | I think we're going to have one among the transactions that we saw this weekend. |
| 0:51.1 | And I think the biggest news from this weekend, |
| 0:53.5 | Brandon Cooks traded to the Cowboys. The Texans got a 2023 fifth rounder and a 2024 sixth rounder. Gave up very little. Brandon Cooks did a little contract juggling to make it work. But he's with the Cowboys. Now he's got Dak Prescott, a big upgrade at quarterback. But he's going to be the number two target there. What do you think of this trade? Yeah, I think Brandon Cooks is a free agency winner because this has a chance to revive his career a little bit. The last two years have been disappointing. You know, 2021 was okay, but it was nothing really special. He was not a top 20 wide receiver on a per game basis. And then last year, he was basically wide receiver 40 on a per game basis. I think he had under 60 yards in 10 of 13 games, something like that. So I think, you know, if you were still on Houston, I'd have very little faith in him. The question is, is Brandon Cook still a good player who is just, you know, dealing with bad circumstances for a couple years? Or is this Alan Robinson going from the Bears to the Rams? |
| 1:45.7 | Oh, it's going to be so much better for him, but actually he was just kind of washed up. |
| 1:49.5 | I don't know, but I do think Brandon Cooks is worth a mid-round pick, maybe round six or seven. |
