As NFL.com's Grant Gordon reported, Bill O'Brien's Texans are making more moves and wide receiver Brandin Cooks is on the move once more.

The Texans are bringing in another dynamic wide receiver, as they are in the process of trading for Cooks from the Rams.

Houston will obtain Cooks and a future fourth-round pick in exchange for sending a second-round pick to the Rams.

It's the fourth team for Cooks and it will be the fourth time he's been traded in his career.

Cooks was drafted with a first-round pick by the Saints in 2014, traded for a first-round pick to the Patriots in 2017 and traded to the Rams for a first-round pick in 2018. Now, in Houston, Cooks will play in a similar system to what he played in while with the Patriots for a team that just traded DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals.

Cooks posted 42 catches for 583 yards and two scores in 2019 -- largely the least productive season of his six-year career.

Still, the 26 year old should be a solid addition to a Texans team that looks to have a well-rounded offense. Trading away Hopkins -- one of the game's elite -- will likely always be a head-scratcher, but now quarterback Deshaun Hopkins has wide receivers Cooks, Will Fuller, Randall Cobb and Kenny Stills along with tight end Darren Fells and running backs David Johnson and Duke Johnson.

As for the Rams, while they don't have a first-round draft pick, they now have two second-round selections and two in the third round.
