Brandin Cooks

The next three receivers carry some risk with them but could be worth the reward.The first is LA Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks. He is coming off a down year, has injury concerns and does have four years left on his deal.

However, if the Bills are comfortable with the risk this is a move that could pay dividends for them. Cooks is only 26 years of age so he should be able to produce at a high level through the remaining years of his contract. While this past season he did only have 583 receiving yards, he did have four straight years with over 1,000 receiving yards.

The other concern for the Buffalo Bills, similar to Diggs, is that Cooks does not have the size they may be trying to add to the position. The question is does Cooks bring something to this offense that Brown doesn’t already offer?

The interest from the Bills will likely come down to the asking price and if they are able to get Cooks for a mid to late round pick, then it might be worth it.
