Done Deal: The Cleveland Browns have officially closed the historic trade deal to acquire the services of Dallas Cowboys 4-Time All-Pro Sensational Star Wide Receiver, A five-year, $96 million agreement was reached, according to reports this morning, However He Will Replace….

It’s paid off for the Browns, with Cooper reeling off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. He made the Pro Bowl last year, snagging 72 receptions for a career-high 1,250 yards and 5 touchdowns.

The Cowboys are in the red when it comes to cap space and could be looking to make a similar move with Cooks this offseason. The Browns are sorting out their own cap issues but should have more than enough room to fit Cooks.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox has the Browns as a top trade contender for Cooks. The proposed deal sends the Browns’ fifth-round pick (155th overall) to the Cowboys for Cooks.

“Dallas should heavily consider making another receiver trade with Cleveland, and not simply because the two have done business before,” Knox said. “Cooks would be a logical target for the Browns because he still possesses field-stretching speed and because of his prior experience playing with Deshaun Watson. The two spent the 2020 season together with the Houston Texans. Cooks finished that year with 1,150 yards and six touchdowns, while Watson made his last Pro Bowl appearance.”

Browns Want to Add More Weapons Like Brandin Cooks

Cooks — who will turn 31 years old next season — has six 1,000-yard seasons on his resume. But he’s coming off a lackluster first season in Dallas. Cooks caught 54 passes for 657 yards and 8 touchdowns. But he’d still be a nice addition for the Browns alongside Cooper. Cooks’ experience with Watson is a bonus.

One of the priorities for the Browns this offseason will be adding more weapons for Watson. He’s coming back from surgery to repair a fractured glenoid bone in his shoulder and the Browns need him to be successful upon his return.

“I think that’s definitely Andrew’s desire to add as many good players as you can,” Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said on the idea of adding to their receiving arsenal on January 14. “But I feel really good about the guys on our roster, not to go through every guy, but really pleased with what these guys were able to accomplish. Amari, Dave (Njoku), Elijah (Moore) — I think all had career-type years and I’m proud of those guys.”

Watson has performed well in spurts but has not looked like the Pro Bowl passer he once was with the Houston Texans. He has played in just 12 games since arriving two seasons ago. Watson has passed for 2,217 yards, 14 touchdowns and 9 interceptions with the Browns.
