Very odd. I think they realized they can't lose a first round draft pick and not sign the guy like they jacked up the Watkins trade last year(not a first but still)
Unfortunately I'm sure McVay will find great ways to use Cooks but I would absolutely LOVE to see this backfire in a big way. Another Tavon Austin contract :D
Of course Cooks is much more proven and is a talented player. We'll see if Goff can get him the ball. As someone who watched Cooks a lot on the Pats last year he was certainly not worth that contract. Obviously he doesn't have to get the ball to make an impact with a playcaller like Sean so his money may not reflect in stat production for himself.
But if Goff struggles to hit him deep or if Cooks gets the drops again in key moments...i will enjoy that
