Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks have made up one of the NFL’s best wide receiver trios of the last two years, but that group is no more in Los Angeles. The Rams traded Cooks to the Texans last week, ending his tenure with the team after just two seasons.
It’s the third time Cooks has been traded in his career, which is a huge surprise for a player who’s just 26 and has four 1,000-yard seasons. Despite all the frequent changes, Cooks has built strong relationships at each stop.
He was close with Kupp and Jared Goff, who both shared photos on Instagram after Cooks was traded.
Here’s what Goff posted on his Instagram story, telling Cooks to keep shooting his arrows – a tribute to Cooks’ signature celebration.
Kupp’s message was heartfelt, saying it’s “tough losing a teammate,” calling Cooks an “incredible teammate and leader.”
Kupp and Cooks spent the last two years together after the Rams acquired Cooks from the Patriots, and being in the same wide receiver room, it’s easy to see why they grew close.
