We traded a 4th for this guy and he can’t even touch the field. He hasn’t gotten a target since the 49ers game.

Why did we just trade a 4th for him to ride the bench?

To say I'm underwhelmed with the trade is an understatement.

figured he'd play a more prominant role in being a possession receiver

Kept looking for him to at least be in in the RZ, only to find Olave, Shaheed and Cooks

He must be still struggling with the play book.

Lol, I’m starting to think you related to Vele or Loomis, you sure run to his defense on the trade.

I’m just hoping Loomis is smart enough to showcase Cooks and maybe trade him to a contender that has injuries at receiver. Then Vele takes his snaps so we can see what we have.

he was questionable all week with a hip injury. i'm not sure what is so difficult for some of you to understand. the problem is some folks want to lay things out with preconceived agendas.

You either to hurt to play or you can play. You could use that spot for special teams then, especially after what happened in Seattle.

So even if we are being unfair in the moment, do you still believe this was a good, smart, value trade Chad? Or are you just playing contrarian/devil's advocate?

There’s not nearly enough evidence to support an overly strong opinion on that matter right now. Anyone with a dramatic opinion on that is a bitch w an agenda to push.

Yea I didn’t care for either move. I’ll give Loomis credit if he can trade Cooks and get a decent pick back. Won’t be nearly as good as what we gave up for Vele though.

I pointed out in the other thread, we could have saved over 35 million on the cap with better value signings and got more comp picks back by letting JJ& Chase walk and not signing Reid and Cooks. Would have the same exact record 2, but way more future cap room and more mid round picks.

He was active yesterday. It is frustrating that when we get into the red zone, we have 3 midgets trying to get open in the end zone. Cooks has been a huge waste.

Why did we sign Cooks? What does he have? 3 catches?
