The Cowboys’ flirtation with Odell Beckham Jr. is done. That’s because the Cowboys landed a receiver who caught their eye before the infatuation with Beckham...
Dallas hopes to resign defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins and defensive end Dante Fowler, two people acquainted with the Cowboys thinking said. Long snapper Jake McQuaide is also on that list, but he visited Detroit. If the Lions make a strong offer, Dallas is expected to move on.Cooks brings to this offense. They believe he can take the top off the defense and consider him a consistent deep threat that will help open up other receivers underneath.
Cooks turned out to be a better option at this time and one whose contract won’t interfere with the club’s need to begin talks of an extension with CeeDee Lamb in the near future. Cooks turns 30 in September. His numbers took a dip last season with 57 receptions for 699 yards and three touchdowns. But that had more to do with the fact he missed three games and the Texans overall decline than it did with any decline in Cooks.
The receiver had more than 1,000 yards receiving in six of the previous seven seasons. Cooks caught 171 passes for 2,187 yards and 12 touchdowns in his first two seasons with Houston, averaging 12.8 yards a reception. He’s had 630 receptions for 8,616 yards and 49 touchdowns in his career.Catch David Moore periodically on The Ticket throughout the Cowboys offseason.
