He was talking about Skyy not DJ, I believe.

Yeah, you can only add what's available.

If the Browns publicize they will cough up Kareem for a 4th then you'd better be blowing up their phones.

Adding Cooks just gives this offense another capable weapon to win one on one matchups.

The one other thing - Cooks is under contract through next season. The WR room gets a lot less crowded next year with only MVS and Moore having contracts. The issue is that Cooks' contract is pretty massive.

They could also take the opportunity to convert some of his non-guaranteed salary into a signing bonus. His cap hits aren't horrible.

2023 - $18 million
2024 - $13 million

Cooks demands too much cap.

Unless we are trading a cap heavy guy for him it won't work.

Move on.

I'm somewhat shocked you aren't advocating trading our 1st rounder for him.

Who do you have us giving up that pick for?



:D

Most teams are not in an excellent cap position during the season to make blockbuster trades and absorb the hits. Sometimes you get the right contract and price together and a team takes it on. CMC had a relatively modest impact this year. DJ Moore does too. There are several more, but the guys that might yet hit a team for 15+ million aren't going anywhere and if they are then it's likely not to a contender. At that point, it's two teams shuffling the deck trying to align for next year.

They aren't horrible but they're probably still too steep for the Chiefs.

:cuss:

The interesting thing about Cooks is that you really could be looking at a bit of a one-stop shop.

Cooks, Hughes and Green are all guys who could help quite a bit. And between the 3 of them I think you're looking at maybe $2.8 million in total cap obligations.

The Texans may be more inclined to part them individually and see if that gets them a better return, but as a group they could maybe get as much as a 2nd for them. I think I'd give up a 3 and another 3 the following year.

Damn straight. Hughes and Green would help this defensive end group a ton. Not sure you can take on both though.

I cannot get behind this bc Juju is significantly more valuable than Cooks. This offense declined when they lost Sammy Watkins. The offense as a whole thrives on precision and YAC.

Not having a guy like Juju breaking tackles and having that speed to get open really hurt us.

Cooks is 29 and Juju is only 25. Give that money to Juju going forward

In a heartbeat. That would address several weaknesses in one swoop.


And the ridiculous idea that we shouldn't improve in any area possible with the players available to us because we have greater need elsewhere is one of the dumbest, most short sighted, dim witted ideas I've seen on CP.
