Wow. We're almost certainly in the running for Deshaun Watson then.

If they could just keep Cooks on the outside where he could focus on just being a big play threat and not as a WRx, then they should recoup their investment...

It'd take a couple of seasons before Cooks fortitude of taking a blow to the head could be tested...

The guy that I really feel for in Planet Houston is J.J. Watt...

Probably the Best Defensive End in the last twenty-five years and will never get to sniff a Superbowl because of a Head Coach with unlimited personnel power...

Where've we heard that before?

In a sport as fast and as violent as football, I just don't see Cooks making it an entire season ... considering he still hasn't mastered the WR route tree and has limited field awareness.

They've lost Larry Tunsil, Clowney & now Hopkins because Bill O'Brien doesn't particularly like them as players or a "fit"

?

IMO this trade will back fire with the Texans and cause coaches to lose their jobs.

They just traded this past season for Tunsil, so I'm pretty sure he's still with the team.

I agree the other trades were terrible outside of Clowney. They didn't get much for him, but he was in the last year of his contract. His demands are out of this world considering his production. He's not a bust, but has far from lived up to his #1 overall pick. He also gets injured quite a bit.

I meant Bill O'Brien traded multiple picks (2 1st rounders/in addition to acquiring Stills) to obtain Larry aka King of False starts.

Those are some bold moves that have yet to pay off. He's a decent HC but I'll never confuse him with Jeff Ireland at GM.

Bill O'Brien is the Jerry Jones of coaching.

or Chip Kelly? No Head Coach should have that much unchecked personnel power - that's why these teams get sideways...
