Report: Rams looking to trade Cooks

NEW ORLEANS, LA - JANUARY 20: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (12) catches pass during the NFC Championship Football game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints on January 20, 2019 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, LA.

The Los Angeles Rams are making wide receiver Brandin Cooks available for trade, a source told Jeff Howe of The Athletic.

L.A. is looking to shed salary and restock its draft picks, Howe adds.

The Rams were also reportedly shopping star running back Todd Gurley but released him Thursday after failing to find a trade partner.

Cooks is under contract through the 2023 season with a cap hit of $16.8 million in 2020.

The wideout caught 42 passes for 583 yards and two touchdowns last season. He missed two games with his fourth concussion since 2018, leading to fears he might need to retire.

Cooks joined the Rams in a 2018 trade that included a first-round pick going the other way.
