Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks has a slight sprain of the medial collateral ligament in one knee, but there is still a chance he could play against the New York Jets on Sunday. Cooks has not practiced this week and is undergoing rehab, but he expressed confidence in his ability to play without limitations. If Cooks is unable to play, the Cowboys have several other options at wide receiver. Safety Donovan Wilson, who has been recovering from a calf strain, could potentially return this week.
Wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who recently joined the Dallas Cowboys, expressed his desire to bounce back personally and help the team return to winning. Cooks acknowledged the talented wideouts on the team and stated his willingness to play any role necessary. He emphasized the importance of leadership and praised head coach Mike McCarthy's aggressive offensive approach, which should provide ample opportunities for all the receiving options in Dallas.
The Dallas Cowboys wrapped up their offseason program with their final mandatory minicamp practice. Dak Prescott looked comfortable with the team's new offense, and Micah Parsons continued to be moved around during the offseason program. The Cowboys have yet to sign another kicker, and the offensive line remains a question mark. The team's trades for cornerback Stephon Gilmore and WR Brandin Cooks have been impactful with the younger players on the team. KaVontae Turpin is expected to be the Cowboys' primary kick and punt returner, and rookie tight end Luke Schoonmaker was limited with a foot issue. The Cowboys will begin training camp in late July.
Brandin Cooks, who has been traded an NFL-record four times, is unsure why he keeps getting traded. However, coaches and personnel executives on each team he has played for have praised him as a "great human" who "works his a-- off." The report found that specific situations with each team led to the moves. Cooks has consistently produced throughout his career, but he has been viewed as a complementary piece rather than a primary threat. The Dallas Cowboys will likely use him as a complementary piece with CeeDee Lamb as the team’s No. 1 receiver.
The Dallas Cowboys made surprising moves by trading for Stephon Gilmore and Brandin Cooks to address their greatest needs at cornerback and wide receiver. Gilmore and Cooks have played together before and are excited to be reunited. Meanwhile, Cowboys offensive lineman Isaac Alarcon is switching from the offensive to the defensive line after spending three years on the practice squad. As part of the NFL International Pathway Program, Alarcon had a roster exemption attached to his name for the last three years, but changing positions is essentially his final chance to prove he belongs on the 53-man roster.
Brandin Cooks, the new wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, has been traded an NFL-record four times, but he can't explain why. Cooks has been a productive player throughout his career, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards in six of his first nine pro seasons. Sources from each of Cooks' four prior teams say his off-field character has not prompted these moves, and former colleagues describe him as a "great human" who "works his ass off." The Cowboys hope Cooks will replicate the road he traveled in New England and Los Angeles and help them reach the Super Bowl.
The Dallas Cowboys have restructured the contract of wide receiver Brandin Cooks, turning $8 million of his $12 million base salary into a signing bonus. Cooks will now have a salary of $4 million and count $6 million against the Cowboys' salary cap. He joins the Cowboys after three seasons with the Houston Texans and is under contract through 2024 with a base salary of $8 million next season.
The Dallas Cowboys have acquired wide receiver Brandin Cooks from the Houston Texans, ending their pursuit of Odell Beckham Jr. Cooks, who has two years left on his deal, is said to be receptive to a restructure that would allow Dallas to lower his cap hit even more for the ‘23 season. The Cowboys hope Cooks can take the top off the defense and consider him a consistent deep threat that will help open up other receivers underneath.
Brandin Cooks, the veteran wide receiver, has been traded for a record-tying fourth time in his NFL career. The Houston Texans sent him to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2023 draft and a sixth-rounder in 2024. Cooks now shares the all-time leader in getting traded title with Eric Dickerson. Cooks has never changed teams in a non-trade fashion in his almost decade-long NFL career.
