TheDallas Cowboyshaven’t won aSuper Bowlin almost three decades. Last season, in the secondyear ofMike McCarthyas head coach, the team failed once again in the playoffs facing theSan Francisco 49ers. Even with an improved defense,Dak Prescottcouldn’t lead the Cowboys to the promised land.
Now, the problem looking to the future is a very crowded NFC East. ThePhiladelphia Eaglesjust got to the Super Bowl andJalen Hurtsis a star franchise quarterback. TheNew York Giantsare on a solid rebuilding process under Brian Daboll and, at least, Washingtonareshaking things up with the arrival ofEric Bieniemy.
Considering this scenario,Jerry Joneshas no time to lose to help Dak Prescott. That’s why, in an incredible turn of events, the Dallas Cowboys just made a blockbuster trade to improve their offense.
Brandin Cooks goes to the Dallas Cowboys in blockbuster trade
The Houston Texans traded wide receiver Brandin Cooks to the Cowboys for a 2023 fifth-round pick and 2024 sixth-round pick. Now, Dallas have another threat to play alongside CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup. Dak Prescott should be delighted with the news.
Prior to the 2022 season, the Dallas Cowboys traded Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns and since that moment they hadn’t found a proper replacement at the wide receiver position. Brandin Cooks seems to be the upgrade Dallas needed to make a Super Bowl run.
Last year was very disappointing for Brandin Cooks with 699 receiving yards and only three touchdowns. The wide receiver wanted out of another rebuilding process in Houston and now gets the chance to play for a contender in the NFC such as the Dallas Cowboys.
Brandin Cooks is 29-years old and has played in his career for the New Orleans Saints, the New England Patriots, the Los Angeles Rams and the Houston Texans. After nine years in the NFL, Cooks has delivered six 1000-yard seasons.
