The Dallas Cowboys are in the process of finalising a trade for veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks that will add another star weapon to quarterback Dak Prescott’s arsenal.
The deal - pending a physical - involves the Cowboys sending a 2023 fifth-round pick and a 2024 sixth-round selection to the Houston Texans in exchange for Cooks. There are also financial considerations, with the Texans set to pay $6m of his $18m guaranteed contract.
Cooks inked a two-year extension last year worth $39.6m to reward his impressive production as he caught a career-high 90 passes on 134 targets for 1,037 yards and six touchdowns in 2021. In his first season with the Texans in 2020, Cooks combined with three-time Pro Bowler Deshaun Watson - who was traded to the Cleveland Browns last offseason - for 1,150 yards and six scores.
