3 wide receivers Packers could trade for not named DK Metcalf

1. Brandin Cooks (Houston Texans)

Being dealt to another NFL team has become business as usual for the 20xx overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft. Wide receiver Brandin Cooks has compiled impressive numbers in his eight NFL seasons. But he has also played for four different teams during his career since the New Orleans Saints made him a first-round pick eight years ago.

He’s totaled 573 receptions, 46 for scores. He’s amassed at least 1,000 yards receiving six times. But after spending three years in the Big Easy, he was dealt to the New England Patriots in 2017. A year later, he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams. And in 2020, he was sent to the Houston Texans – his current place of employment.

So could the productive wideout be on the move once again. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Texans have received some calls about the eight-year pro’s availability. And as previously mentioned, the Packers do have a total of 11 draft choice in April to play with.

There’s also some recent history between the franchises as well. A year ago, quarterback Aaron Rodgers wanted his team to reacquire wide receiver Randall Cobb. Green Bay did just that, swinging a deal with the Houston Texans.
