The Facts: Cooks is becoming the NFL equivalent of a mercenary. He takes a job with whatever team acquires his services, gets paid and posts a 1,000-yard season. In his seven seasons, Cooks has already played for four franchises. He accumulated at least one 1000-yard receiving campaign for each of them. While the Houston Texans look to potentially rework their roster, the New York Giants need help at receiver.
Diehards Line:
Is Daniel Jones the true answer at quarterback in New York? As Heavy.com suggests, no one is quite certain. However, one thing we do know is throwing to names such as C.J. Board, Cody Latimer and Bennie Fowler over his first two NFL seasons isn’t putting the former No. 6 overall pick in the best position to succeed. In fact, last season, no one on the Giants roster managed more than 66 receptions or 751 yards. A disjointed offense, including injuries to Jones, didn't help. At the same time, New York needs a true No. 1 receiver to help in Jones' development. With Cooks on the outside, Sterling Shepard working the slot, Evan Engram at tight end and Saquon Barkley back in the lineup, the Giants would feature an explosive set of skill positions.
