I hope we get our 5th pick back or higher.

Any info on what we'll get for him?

Cowboy boots for the rodeo.

Sounds like similar compensation the Cowboys got for Amari Cooper last season. For Cooper they got two 5ths and a sixth round pick swap. Sounds like a 5/6 round pick for Cooks. You will not get a lot when a player has a terrible contract and throws a hissy fit about wanting to leave the team.

Good riddance. Wished we could’ve gotten more.

Tickets for the Dallas rodeo?

Glad to see him gone, but now we have ZERO wide receiver threats on the team.

Bijan will take care of two needs and Dell will add another.

Brandin Cooks situation was a mess by both Caserio/Texans and Cooks himself. Glad it’s over wish both sides had handled it better, I wish him nothing but failure moving forward

Rapoport says 5th this year and 6th next year:

It's been on the list for a while, along with practically every other position on both sides. LOL

Metchie will be in the mix this season.

 

[Xopher]

Wait. I thought we were supposed to get a 1st, or a 2nd, or at least a 3rd according to everyone. Now we are getting 2 bad picks and paying money to get rid of Cooks?

Slim pickings at WR this season, unless you like smallish WRs.

Who was saying that now? I think most people paying attention were hoping for a 3rd at best once we screwed up and gave away all leverage by not trading him last year.

I think we might have been able to get a better deal.

Cowboys acquiring WR Brandin Cooks in trade with Texans

Brandin Cooks is on the move once again. The Cowboys are acquiring the veteran wide receiver from the Texans in exchange for a 2023 fifth-round pick and a 2024 sixth-round pick.

Cooks was a smallish receiver. And Johnston from TCU isn’t smallish, he’s a beast.

 

[leebigeztx]

I've said from the jump and I'm not a poster who act like an insider. Cooks could've been a Cowboy last season for a 2nd. Caserio wanted a 2nd and 4th and Dallas to take salary. Dallas balked and now the Texans get trash picks and still paying salary.

A better deal was on the table last year. Somehow the deal fell through and it didn’t get done.

True about Cooks. I said slim pickings in the draft, not no pickings. lol
I wouldn't be butt hurt if the Texans drafted Johnston.

I'm no capologist, but that looks like we save $12m...

With the restructure, I wonder how much we are eating next season.

Im not a big salary cap guy but I don’t think you can eat any dead money the year after cutting/trading someone

You're already assuming these are bad picks? Why the Caserio hate?

I don't think so. The Cowboys did the Texans a solid by taking Cooks before the draft.

Cooks Dead $$$
2023 - $8.1 million bonus allocation + $6 million salary = $14.1 million
2024 - $8.1 million bonus allocation

Is that a lot of dead money? Yes. It was a bad contract.

Yeah, this one was predictable and indefensible. Can't help but think Easterbys fingerprints were on this contract.

Texans pay $6M of his $18M. Not too bad of a hit. As I keep scrolling more details to come. Glad to finally get this done.

I think it was $6m of his $18m - $12m saving.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Since March 2017, Cooks has been a part of 4 trades.

Let's hope Nick can remember this. Painful lesson.

Brandin Cooks' two-year contract extension has $36 million guaranteed with $19.8 million maximum average annually.

That’s outrageous for an age 30 & 31 WR. What would Bill Belichick do (WWBBD)?

Not this.

Can't help but think Easterbys fingerprints were on this contract.

Jack's impact on this franchise will not be forgotten.

Already fixed.

Has anyone seen if this 5th round pick is #161 or #169?

 

[Toro Bravo]

Good riddance! I'm happy to be rid of one of the last vestiges of the BOB/Easterby/Watson nightmare and to get back a 5th rounder, even if it is approximately 24 picks lower (5.161 vs. 5.138).

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Cooks has a 2024 cap hit of $24.6M with no dead money for Dallas to worry about. So this may be a one-and-done season trade opportunity for Dallas.

 

[CloakNNNdagger]

Has anyone seen if this 5th round pick is #161 or #169?

• Round 1, Pick 26
• Round 2, Pick 58
• Round 3, Pick 90
• Round 4, Pick 129
• Round 5, Pick 169
• Round 6, Pick 176
• Round 7, Pick 212
• Round 7, Pick 246

If Texans are paying part of that contract they should get more than the Amari deal
