Sources: Texans willing to trade Cooks, several teams interested

The Houston Texans are willing to trade wide receiver Brandin Cooks ahead of the Nov. 1 deadline, sources told Jordan Schultz, theScore's NFL insider.

Several teams are reportedly interested in Cooks, and Houston would prefer draft capital in return.

The veteran signed a two-year, $39.6-million extension in April after producing back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns and 12 combined touchdowns in his first two seasons with the Texans.

The 29-year-old has struggled to replicate that form in 2022. He has 28 catches for 281 yards and one score in seven appearances.

Cooks isn't the only receiver apparently receiving interest ahead of the deadline, as teams are also eyeing the Pittsburgh Steelers' Chase Claypool and Denver Broncos' Jerry Jeudy.
