NFL rumors: Packers combating with a number of rivals for Brandin Cooks

The Inexperienced Bay Packers stay certainly one of a number of groups in on Houston Texans vast receiver Brandin Cooks, who has six 1,000-yard seasons below his belt.

Brandin Cooks is aware of his days in Houston are numbered, and for good purpose — the Texans want all of the NFL Draft capital they’ll get to assist their rebuild.

Cooks would match properly with the Packers, as I discussed earlier this week. Inexperienced Bay has loads of younger vast receivers — including one other doesn’t essentially make a ton of sense. Cooks, 29, has loads of expertise on profitable groups, together with the New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots. Absolutely he may deal with no matter Aaron Rodgers calls for.

Rodgers hasn’t hid his displeasure with the Packers receiving corps and offense as a complete.

Aaron Rodgers voices considerations with Packers gamers

“If a type of guys has an issue with it, I’m proper right here, and I’d like to have a dialog,” Rodgers said. “I get pleasure from these conversations. I get pleasure from any kind of battle like that, as a result of I do know the decision on the opposite aspect goes to make us a greater unit, a greater friendship, a greater cohesion on the sphere. However no one’s come to me and stated, ‘I’ve received an issue with what you stated.’”

So, right here’s the factor — nobody goes to come back ahead and query Rodgers authority within the locker room, particularly the younger vast receiving corps. Doing so would all however guarantee much less targets, and maybe their spot on the roster altogether.

Cooks, although, has the pedigree to at the very least deliver points to Rodgers’ consideration. Per Jordan Schultz of The Score, Inexperienced Bay is a darkish horse contender for the 29-year-old, with NFC contenders within the Rams, Vikings and Giants all respiratory down their neck.

Buying Cooks might be no simple job, particularly because the market heats up.
