Just Joshin' Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 A good receiver but it seems to me he can not carry a team. Does not come up big in the clutch. Maybe wrong with a small data set but if he was worth it teams would keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Just now, DCOrange said: Yes. Makes me think buyer beware here. I know we took a shot on Morse, but I don't see us using assets to get a guy with such an injury history playing at the WR position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a risk, but that's why it won't be a first round pick and why it becomes potentially a risk worth taking. I'd be fine taking the chance with a 2nd round pick personally but I understand if others wouldn't go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Wouldn't hate this, if the Bills are in on it. Too bad that the Rams aren't trying to trade Cooper Kupp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty75 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I’d like us to get him, the only problem i have it’s that he’s getting hurt really easy. So imo his worth is a 3/4th round pick! Edited March 16, 2020 by Smitty75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'd be happy wit ha move like this assuming not a high price tag. I'd prefer they draft a rookie, but rookie WR can take longer to develop. This way not depending on the rookie for much production this year at least the first half. Whatever you get from the rookie is gravy as have three others plus Knox that can keep defenses honest. May even be tougher this year for rookies as time working with QB may be curtailed due to virus issues? As an aside I wonder if Josh is still working out with Palmer or has that been put on hold too?

NewEra Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Good WR. Wouldn’t want to give up more than a 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goff/McVay hasn’t been able to utilize Cooks as well as he should, and the emergence of intermediate guys like Woods and Kupp make him a luxury. Cooks has benefit to their offense as a field stretcher, but that’s a luxury that a team with a depleted talent pipeline may not be able to afford. BTW, I would 100% be in with our 3rd. If we go Tee or another WR in the first, and our group looks like Cooks, Brown, Higgins, Beasley as WR 1-4, we are easily in the top 12 in WR groups in the NFL.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I predicted last year we would trade for him. This year i'de rather stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Another often injured player. But that speed is appealing. Whats his contract? Id give a 6th for him if the contract is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watkins101 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'd give a fourth (maybe toss in a 6th?) Then take a WR in the 2nd (unless one of the top 3 fall in the first, or there isn't good value there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan17 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The injury history is worthy of taking pause. Factor in the contract, I like his game, but those two things, if the price is really cheap asset wise to acquire him, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those contracts where there's a substantial dead cap amount for the Rams if they trade him. But as of right now, cap hits of 16.8, 16.8, 17.8, and 17.4 million left.

Yeah, if we trade our 3rd for him, I’d understand it but I just think we could find a better fit to spend a 3rd and big bucks on. He’s got 16-17 mill a year coming to him for a few more years. I just don’t think I want to spend all those resources (that’s a lot of money) in another small catch radius wr. then would we still be looking to add a wr in the first 2 rounds of the draft? Cooks 17 mill, brown 9.75, Beasley 7.3 plus a top draft pick in this draft? I just don’t know if we’re going to invest all of that into WR.

I would be okay with trading a third for him, going BPA at not necessarily WR in the first and second and then trading up in the third for another WR who falls. We would also likely restructure Cooks to spread out his hit a little more and give him some more guaranteed money in recompense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
