Cooks is a good speed guy, but sucks in the open field.

Cooks isn't going to get the extra yards and make a few miss after the catch, that's why I love MT. MT will break tackles and look for more yards, same with Snead.

MT>Cooks.
Cooks could be good trade bait if the right deal came along.

I think it is amusing how often the subject of trading players comes up here in the forum. Regular season trades are extremely rare in the NFL with usually no more than about six or seven in a full season and almost all of those are simply for draft picks. Player for player trades are far more scarce.

I am not looking to trade Cooks, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking about a mid-season trade, because the deadline has already passed. If we could trade Graham for Unger and a 1st rounder, then I wouldn't laugh at the notion that trading Cooks is at least a possibility, if I were you.

I don't see it happening, but stranger things have clearly been done.

As long as Cooks is still on that rookie contract it would take a miracle for him to be traded. Right?

I don't know about miracle. It just all depends on if something came up where there was an opportunity to make an upgrade in an area of greater need. You'd like to think they can do that without trading him, though. It is unlikely, for sure.

We did trade Ricky Williams while he was on his rookie contract, after all. There have been others, though less notable.

That was back when rookie contracts were larger than veteran contracts.
