With Super Bowl LVII in the rearview mirror, the 2023 NFL season has officially begun. Organizations such as the Houston Texans should have very busy offseasons with key decisions to make pretty soon. In 2022, the Texans finished 3-13-1 and failed to qualify for the playoffs for the third straight year. One of those wins […]

The Cleveland Browns will miss the NFL playoffs for the second time in three seasons under head coach Kevin Stefanski in 2022. They dropped from an 8-9 record in 2021 to 7-10 the following year. Whether Stefanski is on the hot seat or not, here are some of the areas where the Browns must make […]

It is more than a stretch to think that the Houston Texans could make the playoffs in 2023, and yet, there is a path to that happening. With their head coach role having been filled by DeMeco Ryans, is it possible that the Texans are on their way to changing the path of their franchise? […]

The Houston Texans managed to stick a wrench in their own rebuild plans after shockingly winning in Week 18 to move them into possession of the No. 2 overall pick in the draft. With the Texans figuring to once again be at the bottom of the standings in 2023, veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks made […]

The Houston Texans are well out of contention in the AFC, but they’ll have their top receiver back in Brandin Cooks for a Week 16 date with the Tennessee Titans on Christmas Eve.

Heading into their Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, the Houston Texans will be without two key playmakers on offense. Both Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins will be out. Nico Collins and Brandin Cooks have been the Texans leading wide receivers this season. Each player has already missed time this season. Now, in Week […]

The Houston Texans lost their sixth game in a row after they were blown out by the Miami Dolphins, 30-15, on the road in Week 12 of the 2022 NFL season. Now at 1-9-1, the Texans are far and away the worst team in the AFC South. Here we’ll discuss the four Texans most to […]

Another game and another loss for the Houston Texans. Head coach Lovie Smith’s team dropped a 30-15 decision to the Miami Dolphins in Week 12, and wide receiver Brandin Cooks could not contain his displeasure after the game. “Emotions are bad,” he said. “When you’re sitting here at 1-9-1, it’s embarrassing at the end of […]

The Houston Texans were widely expected to be busy at the trade deadline this season amid yet another lost season, with Brandin Cooks being their most sought after player. But the Texans opted against dealing Cooks, and the star wide receiver was not happy about the team’s decision, and he let them know in private […]

As the Houston Texans prepare for their Week 10 showdown against the New York Giants on Sunday, one familiar name is expected to be back in the lineup. Wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who missed last Thursday’s Week 9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, has openly admitted he was frustrated after not being moved ahead of […]

The Houston Texans’ poor 2022 season continued on with another loss in Week 9. This time around, the Texans lost to the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles 29-17 at home on Thursday Night Football. At 1-6-1, the worst record in the AFC, Houston has been looking ahead to 2023 for some time now. To the Texans’ credit, […]

Heading into the 2022 NFL trade deadline, Brandin Cooks expected to be traded by the Houston Texans.

The Dallas Cowboys have had a strong start to the 2022 season, but it’s clear there were some areas the team could look into upgrading at the 2022 NFL trade deadline. For that reason, the Cowboys were involved in rumors throughout the deadline, and they were widely expected to be one of the busier teams […]

The Houston Texans made one of the more surprising decisions at the trade deadline when they opted to not trade wide receiver Brandin Cooks. With the Texans offense floundering, it made sense for the team to move on from Cooks, who is one of the better wide receivers in the league, and get some assets […]

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks believed he’d be traded by Tuesday’s deadline, with the Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys showing interest. But, he ultimately stayed put, and ever since, Cooks hasn’t even practiced.

Just when it looked like things couldn’t get worse for the Houston Texans, injury has been added to the insult of Brandin Cooks being away from the team in the form of second-year third-round pick Nico Collins, who has been listed as out ahead of the team’s Thursday Night Football showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. Suffering […]

Brandin Cooks did not practice on Wednesday, per Aaron Wilson. It is unclear whether his absence from practice is in relation to not being traded by the Houston Texans ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Cooks previously posted a cryptic message to his Twitter account after no deal was made. “Don’t take a man’s kindness […]

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have gotten off to a slow start in 2022. While being second in the NFC North, they currently sit at 3-5. Through the first eight games of the season, the defense has remained the most consistent part of this team. While they have struggled at times, they have […]

The Dallas Cowboys made a move on deadline day, but it wasn’t the Brandin Cooks deal that fans were hoping for. Heck, it was not even a trade! On Tuesday minutes after the trade deadline has passed, the Cowboys officially announced that they have waived defensive tackle Trysten Hill. According to Calvin Watkins of Dallas […]

The Houston Texans opted against moving Brandin Cooks at the NFL trade deadline, and it seems that decision isn’t sitting too well with the veteran wide receiver.

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks was not spotted at practice on Tuesday ahead of the 2022 NFL trade deadline, adding fuel to the fire to that his time with the franchise may be coming to an end.

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been one of the players most frequently linked with a move at the trade deadline.

Things are looking up in Big D at the moment. The Dallas Cowboys are 6-2, Dak Prescott just had his best game of the season in a 49-29 thumping of the Chicago Bears, and the team heads into the bye with a chance to recuperate and get healthy for the rest of the season. The […]

Following Sunday’s 17-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans, the Houston Texans find themselves further buried in the AFC South standings with a record of 1-5-1. However, with the NFL trade deadline around the corner on Tuesday, November 1st, one Texans player is clamming up. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, wide receiver Brandin […]

Brandin Cooks’ time with the Houston Texans might be coming to an end soon. The wide receiver is currently one of the hottest names in the market ahead of the NFL trade deadline.

As the 2022 NFL trade deadline nears, the Houston Texans are clearly going to be sellers. One player drawing a lot of interest from around the league is wide receiver Brandin Cooks. It seems like both sides want a trade to go through before the deadline, but it looks like there may be a big […]

The Houston Texans figure to be seeing a plethora of calls from opposing GMs hoping to poach some of their top talent ahead of the trade deadline.

With a Week 7 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Houston Texans dropped to 1-4-1 on the season. Not that the team had playoff hopes going into the game, but with just over a week to go before the NFL trade deadline on November 1, the Texans need to start thinking about making some […]

The Houston Texans have once again proven themselves to be one of the worst teams in the NFL as they embark on a lengthy rebuild. That has made Brandin Cooks a very tantalizing trade candidate, with many teams beginning to call the Texans in hopes they will move the star wide receiver midway through the […]

The Houston Texans once again came up just short of a win in Week 3, this time against the Chicago Bears. They lost this time by a score of 23-20, and were in it right until the end, very nearly pulling off an upset. But, as has been the case for the first three games […]

There are six times when he has collected more than 1,000 receiving yards (at least once in each city played). Cooks had two […]

It’s been a questionable offseason for the New England Patriots. The front office didn’t acquire many exciting names and their draft class isn’t too great on paper. However, you can never count out this franchise with Bill Belichick leading the way. Even so, it’d be nice to see this team acquire more dominant pass catchers […]

The Baltimore Ravens are finishing up one of the best off-seasons in the entire NFL. General manager Eric DeCosta put together a solid free agency period, one that was mainly focused on keeping some of the roster together with the little cap space Baltimore had available. Despite that limited cap space, the Ravens were able […]
