N/S - Soooo glad we traded Cooks

Rams WR Brandin Cooks
After being traded to the Rams in April, Cooks is now with his third team—but there’s no denying that the speedy pass catcher has produced at elite levels on each of his first two stops: The Rams are reportedly hoping to ink Cooks to a long-term deal, but that plan depends on just how much the former Patriots and Saints pass catcher is hoping to get. Say Cooks has his sights set on somewhere close to the record five-year, $82.5 million deal Mike Evans recently signed with the Buccaneers: Will Sean McVay and Les Snead be willing to fork out top dollar (and his approximate market value, per Spotrac) to a player who has yet to play a game in a Rams uniform? For a team that has yet to hand Donald an extension—and still has decisions to make over the next couple of years on upcoming free agents like Marcus Peters, Lamarcus Joyner, Todd Gurley, and Jared Goff—it makes for an interesting negotiation. For now, Cooks is set to play 2018 on a $8.5 million fifth-year option.

Imagine paying upwards of 80 million for him

I'll give that to Mike Thomas instead, thanks.

Amazing how loosely that word is used in today's sports world.

I cannot imagine Cooks getting close to $80M, I too was ecstatic when we traded him. I always remember him being scared to catch a ball in traffic and getting gator arms when he went across the middle of the field. He is an excellent deep threat but...

Cooks is good but not elite. He plays a role on offense and does it very very well but not #1 receiver record-setting money well.

What do WRs 1.5 get these days?

And Ryan Ramczyk seems to be on track to earn his fair share when his rookie deal is up, as well. Great trade.

in his defense, its not like mike evans really deserves mike evans money

Mike Evans is a volume receiver. He gets yards and he's physically dominant, but alot of those yards are due to the targets he receives because it's like a 50% completion
Posted on 5/30/18 at 5:42 pm to Dizz
Yeah. How is 70 catches, 1,000 yards and 6 tds 'elite'? He's very good, but elite? No.

Lollll yes

How do the Patriots keep finding suckers to trade with. This was such a dumb trade for the Rams. They could have kept their first round pick and got the best receiver in the draft for rookie money instead of a solid receiver who wants elite money

With all the moves they made this offseason it's clear that they're all in for this year. They're not looking forward to the future at this point. It makes sense for them as a franchise. They need to distance themselves in the "fan chasing frenzy" (for lack of a better term) that they're in with the Chargers. The need to get as many fans on board now so that when the new stadium is built they fill it with Rams fans. They will lose at least a couple of the guys they brought in this offseason after the year is over. They know that. But as long as they make a deep run this year and pick up more fans in that market, they won't care going forward.
