1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Mike Evans has become of the best wide receivers in the NFL this season, but Vincent Jackson”s season-ending torn ACL back in October has left Tampa Bay with nothing close to another substantial threat on the perimeter.

The Buccaneers have yet to play the Saints this season. But the teams will play each other twice in a three-week span from Week 14-Week 16, and some familiarity with Cooks should be inherent as NFC South foes over the previous two seasons.

With Jameis Winston (22 years old) in place as the quarterback long-term, along with Evans (23 years old), the running back duo of Doug Martin and Charles Sims and tight end Cameron Brate , Tama Bay is building a nice collection of talent on the offensive side of the ball. Cooks would fit in very nicely, and trading for him would give the Buccaneers one of the top wide receiver duos in the league for years to come.
