Brandin Cooks Could be on the Move

Sunday, October 26, 8:23 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks could be dealt ahead of the trade deadline. The Saints season isn't going anywhere, so they might as well get something for the veteran wideout. If traded, Cooks would make history as the most traded player before the deadline. Ahead of Week 8, Cooks has 14 receptions for 127 receiving yards and has been held out of the end zone. The 32-year-old hasn't experienced much success in 2025, but can still contribute in this league. The Saints offense has struggled badly, so a move elsewhere should help Cooks' value.

Browns Release Wide Receiver Diontae Johnson

Tuesday, August 26, 9:51 AM

The Cleveland Browns have released veteran wide receiver Diontae Johnson, making him one of Tuesday's notable roster cuts. Johnson, a 2021 Pro Bowler with the Steelers, was battling for a reserve role behind Cedric Tillman and Jerry Jeudy but fell short. The six-year veteran has bounced around recently, spending time with the Panthers, Ravens, and Titans last season, struggling to regain his early-career form. Still, Johnson's polished route running and proven production give him a chance to latch on elsewhere. As teams finalize their rosters before Week 1, the 289-year-old could emerge as a depth option for a contender.
