Last week, Brandin Cooks made some strange NFL history when he was traded for the fourth time in his career, tying an NFL record for the most a player has ever been traded throughout his career. But it sounds like he’s taking it all in stride.
Following his most recent trade to the Dallas Cowboys, Brandin Cooks opened up about being traded four times throughout his NFL career, revealing that he looks at the positive in the situation.
“I’ve really never gotten upset, because obviously that means someone out there wants me to be a part of their group,” Cooks said, according to Pro Football Talk. “Fortunate enough to go for some great draft picks. I think I’m just fortunate enough to be able to play with so many great organizations and make an impact in this league everywhere I’ve been. I think it’s special because it means I didn’t get to free agency. People are jumping up and down to get to me before I get there. That’s the way I look at it. I look at it in a positive light.”
Still, when asked why he thinks he’s been traded so many times, he didn’t have a lot of answers.
“I don’t know,” Cooks said when asked why he has been traded so much. “I don’t know. I don’t know. I really can’t answer that, honestly. I mean you can ask my teammates and any coaches I’ve been a part of, and I would think they would say I’ve been one of the best teammates they’ve had. There’s a reason why so many teams have tried to come back and trade for me. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
Cooks will undoubtedly hope to stay with the Cowboys for a while this time around.
